Saudi Arabia and Its Wahhabi Fronts.
“Apart from MWL (Muslim World League), the Saudi Kingdom with a view to balance the role of Islamic educated Wahhabi clerics in the government also provided sanctuary to widely traveled and modern educated Muslim Brotherhood (MB) fugitives from Egypt and placed them in important positions in the Wahhabi controlled educational institutions. “Some were provided Saudi stipends. Others were given positions in the Saudi educational system, including the universities, or in the large Saudi charities, like the Muslim World League that was created in 1962. For example, while Egyptian President Abdul Nasser had the Muslim Brotherhood ideologue, Sayyed Qutb, executed in 1966, his brother, Muhammad Qutb, fled to Saudi Arabia and taught at King Abdul Aziz University in Jiddah. He was joined in the 1970s by one of the heads of the Muslim Brotherhood from Jordan, Abdullah Azzam. In 1979, both taught Osama bin Laden, a student at the university”. Muslim Brotherhood due to its experience in world politics is known to be the guide of all these organisations in their dealings with foreign countries. MB activists Abdullah Azzam was deputed as head of the Muslim World League in Peshawar, Pakistan to serve in the War against Soviet Union in Afghanistan.
The Wahhabi fronts receive a substantial portion of huge Zakat (Charity) funds estimated annually around $10 billion in the kingdom from the state revenue, Royal Family as well as from individual donors as donations. “The Saudi Grand Mufti, who is also a Saudi cabinet member, chairs the Constituent Council of the Muslim World League.”

Iran to build S-300 substitute
Iran plans to manufacture long-range missiles due to the 'prolonged' delay in the delivery of Russian-made S-300 air defense systems, a top Iranian military official says.
Brigadier General Mohammad Hassan Mansourian said the initial information about the army's plans to manufacture of long-range missiles will soon be announced.
He added that the longest-range Iranian missile is presently the surface-to-air, medium-range Shahin missile, which can also be used for short-range purposes.
"Iranian industries have made considerable progress in electronic warfare and designing radars," said Brig. Gen. Mansourian.
The S-300 missile system can track targets and fire at aircraft within a range of more than 150 km (100 miles). It features high jamming immunity and is able to simultaneously engage up to 100 targets.
The Iranian military commander added that every conceivable operational demand had been taken into consideration in planning to manufacture the new long-range missiles.
******************
I have been trying to tell everybody that Russia is not NEARLY as "helpful" to Iran as so many people believe.
First the "hijacked" ship full of missiles Iran had already paid for, and now a "major" delay in delivery.
Things are not always what they seem.
