Iran rejects Russia’s offer to replace S-300 systems with Tor systems

Iran’s ambassador to Russia says Tehran has rejected Moscow’s proposal to provide the Islamic Republic with a substitute for the S-300 systems, which should have been delivered under a bilateral arms deal.
Iran’s ambassador told on Monday that the proposed substitute, the Tor anti-aircraft system, “would be unable to fulfill the S-300’s functions” within Iran’s national defense system.
Under a contract signed in 2007, Russia was required to provide Iran with at least five S-300 missile systems.
However, Moscow refused to deliver the systems to Iran under the pretext that they were covered by the fourth round of the UN Security Council resolutions against Iran.
