Iran Deploys S-300 Air Defense around Nuclear Site

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Iranian state media says the military has begun deploying a Russia-supplied S-300 air defense system around the underground Fordo nuclear facility.

Video footage posted late Sunday on state TV's website showed trucks arriving at the nuclear site and missile launchers being aimed skyward. It did not say whether the system was fully operational.

The large, underground facility is located in some 100 kilometers (60 miles) south of the capital, Tehran.

Russia began delivering the S-300 system to Iran earlier this year after sanctions were lifted under a landmark nuclear agreement with world powers.

Cutie;
I just got back from Aleppo and I want to tell you the Fashion Show and the Photo Shoot were a great success. The settings were out of this world and the audience could not get enough of us. The Military and Air Academies were lit at night time with artillery and rocket fire which made it all the more nostalgic.
The Houthians tried to disrupt the Fashion Show several times but nothing a few TOW missiles could not take care of. Mr. Golani was ever so kind throughout the process and took us in a double decker open roof bus on a tour of Aleppo's nightlife and Ramousseh exquisite cuisine.
It was such a wonderful experience Cutie, as I got to sing for the rebels and lift their morale.
