TEHRAN — Iran can take legal action if Russia refuses to fulfill its commitments to deliver an advanced missile defense system to the Islamic republic, a senior military official was quoted as saying on Tuesday.
Iranian officials have voiced growing frustration at the government's failure to supply the advanced S-300 missile defense system, which Israel and the United States do not want Tehran to have.
"The Russians, surely under the pressure of the Zionist lobby and America, refuse to fulfill their commitments," Brigadier General Mohammad Hassan Mansourian said, IRNA reported.
"And because this is an official agreement it can be pursued through international legal bodies," said Mansourian, who is deputy head of Iran's air defenses.
