Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered executives to consider shipping five divisions of S-300VM Antey-2500 systems to Iran. Tehran should cancel the $4-billion lawsuit against Russia for the deal.
Iranian Ambassador to Russia Seyed Mahmoud Reza Sajadi confirmed Tehran’s readiness for such compromise.
Moreover, Putin ordered preparations to sign a deal to build the second energy block for the Iranian nuclear power plant. Iranian ex-President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad expressed interest in the project during his recent visit to Moscow.
Both topics will be discussed by Putin and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani at the SCO summit in Bishkek on September 13.
Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov said that the agenda of the Russian president’s talks had not been announced, although he confirmed that nuclear energy and the Bushehr nuclear power plant were some of the topics for discussions.
