Iran may lose Russian support over lawsuit

Russia may stop supporting Iran, unless it withdraws the case on S-300 complexes, Kommersant reports.

Iran filed a lawsuit against Rosoboronexport (Russia) worth $4 billion to the International Arbitration Court of Geneva.

Russia and Iran signed a contract on the S-300 complexes in late 2007. Russia was to ship 5 S-300 PMU-1 anti-missile complexes worth $800 million. Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree scrapping the shipments, according to the fourth UNSC resolution against Iran of June 9, 2010.

The US, Israel and a set of other Western states accuse Iran of developing nuclear arms on the background of peaceful atom. Tehran denies all accusations and insists that the nuclear program is to fulfill demands for electricity. Four resolutions of the UNSC have been passed against Iran.
