Slovakia had a system, they sold it to us. Slovakia used it in military exercises so NATO air forces could get some practice vs. it.

Russia announced Monday that it will sell Iran advanced S-300 surface-to-air missiles. The sale, which ends an embargo dating back to 2010, shows that President Barack Obama is rapidly losing control of the international consensus on Iran. It also sets Israel a deadline to attack Iran–since Israel has treated the S-300 system as a “red line,” and has attacked Syria several times recently to prevent advanced Russian air defense and anti-ship missile systems from becoming operational.
Some Israeli analysts have recently suggested that Israel will only attack Iran if the regime’s nuclear program poses a direct and imminent threat–if the “sword is at the throat.”
However, it is likely that Israeli strategists have another deadline in mind–namely, the point where a military attack against Iran is no longer feasible. Currently, Iran has weak air defenses and would not be able to do much to stop an airstrike. However, the Russian missiles will advance its defensive capabilities.
Effectively, then, Putin is calling the world’s bluff. He is setting a deadline for Israel to make a fateful choice, and daring the Obama administration to intervene. More broadly, he is unraveling the P5+1 process that the U.S. has dominated recently–chiefly by leading the way in offering concessions to Iran. The “framework” of Lausanne is still murky, and a final deal is a long way from done, but Putin is already challenging the U.S. leverage that brought about the conditions for negotiations.
Putin knows full well that he is triggering an Israeli countdown–and he has been happy to do so in the past. From his point of view, it makes little difference whether Iran or Syria actually use the weapons he is selling them, so long as their money is good and the two regimes remain somewhat dependent on Russian protection.

What?! You meant brokered the deal right?
This was all foretold in Bible prophecy. Russia will be the armies of the North. All of the world will be gainst Israel.
“shows that President Barack Obama is rapidly losing control of the international consensus on Iran”
Obama is not with international consensus that Iran should not have nuclear weapons or advanced military technology. He wants them to have all that.
Ezekiel 38:3-5
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
Bible Prophecy Ping
More like : a brokered “ flexible “ deal for Iran.
Well, that didn’t take long....
Pray for Israel..
God please protect Israel in Jesus Christ name...
Netanyahu can NOT allow these missiles to be delivered.
1) Israel hit first and the war is on!
2) Israel waits and is wiped off the face of the earth.
3) Israel hits first and God grants them victory.
4) Israel waits and God intervenes and wipes all of us off the face of the earth.
This was all foretold in Bible prophecy. Russia will be the armies of the North. All of the world will be gainst Israel.
I’ve always heard scholars point out that the U.S. is not mentioned in the prophecy showing that we won’t be here. I believe we’re very close to “not being here” right now.
Those who are right with the Lord, just about time to start looking up.
Those who are not right with the Lord - got on it.
God has vowed that Israel will never be destroyed again. He will deliver Israel. Iran will be destroyed. I don’t recall what Iran was called in Bible times, but I read about it’s destruction in some Bible prohecy material. It looks like Israel will have to act soon. Maybe by September (4th Blood Moon). The last time we had 4 Blood Moons, they launched the 1967 war.
That’s ‘GET on it’ rather.
Persia, up till circa 1930.

Come Lord Jesus...come.
Iran is old Persia.
Iraq is old Babylon.
But I do believe Iraq was part of the redrawn national lines back in the early 20th century after the British gave up the middle east.
Thanks. They are doing their best now to rebuild the Persian Empire. If I didn’t know God was in control, I wouldn’t sleep at night knowing the bonified idiots we have negotiating with these terrorists.
Maranatha Lord come quickly
