The Iranian regime\u2019s defense minister who had been involved in hostage taking and terrorism is visiting Moscow for talks about closer military cooperation.<\/p>\n
Officials in Iran announced Monday that the regime in Tehran would spend another $8 billion on the purchase of Russian arms.<\/p>\n
The Iranian regime has already handed Moscow a shopping list and the visit by Iranian Defense Minister Hossein Dehghan should speed up a number of key arms deals, RT reported.<\/p>\n
“Iran would like to buy Russia’s latest S-400 Triumph anti-aircraft missile system, developed by Almaz-Antey. And they make no secret of it. On the eve of his visit to Moscow Dehghan openly said to Iranian media they want to purchase the S-400s,” the report said quoting sources of the business daily Kommersant.<\/p>\n
Days after a preliminary nuclear agreement between the Iranian regime and six world powers, the United Nations adopted a resolution on July 20 forbidding Iran\u2019s regime from purchasing conventional arms for the next five years.<\/p>\n
According to Fox News: The ban explicitly forbids \u201cbattle tanks, armored combat vehicles, large-caliber artillery systems, combat aircraft, attack helicopters, [and] warships\u2026\u201d from being purchased by Iran without prior approval from the U.N.<\/p>\n
According to the Interfax news agency, the second important topic of the talks in Moscow is Tehran\u2019s possible procurement, or even a licensed production of the new Russian Sukhoi Su-30SM multi-role fighter.<\/p>\n
Dehghan’s arrival in Moscow Monday comes a month after Iran\u2019s regime received billions of dollars\u2019 worth of sanctions relief when its nuclear deal with world powers went into effect.<\/p>\n
Hossein Dehghan, Hassan Rouhani’s defense minister, has been among the \u201cstudent followers of the Imam [Khomeini]\u201d who took over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran on November 4, 1979 and took 52 American diplomats hostage. He also helped found Hezbollah in Lebanon.<\/p>\n
He has been one of the architects of the 1983 terror bombing that killed 220 U.S. Marines and 21 other service members in Beirut, Lebanon.<\/p>\n
