TEHRAN -- MP Hojjatoleslam Hossein Ebrahimi said that if Russia fails to deliver the S-300 missile system, Iran will pursue the issue through official channels and seek damages based on the provisions of the contract signed by the two countries.

All countries must abide by signed agreements within the framework of international law, the deputy chairman of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee told the Mehr News Agency on Tuesday.
According to a contract signed in 2005, Russia was required to deliver S-300 air-defense systems to Iran.
Commenting on Iran-Russia relations, Ebrahimi stated that the relationship should be revised in such a way so as to obtain a favorable result, and Russia has no alternative but to fulfill its commitments.
He went on to say that Russia often reneges on its promises, but Iran will not relinquish its rights.
Although Russia calls itself Iran’s friend, Iran has not witnessed such a friendship in practice, he added.
The S-300 system, which can track targets and fire at aircraft 120 kilometers (75 miles) away, features high jamming immunity and is able to simultaneously engage up to 100 targets
