The Long Road to Tehran

Call me cynical, but I assume Russia knows that these weapons will eventually reach Iran:

Deliveries of S-300 missile defense systems to Venezuela have been delayed, but will go ahead, an official at Rosoboronexport, Russia's state-owned arms export monopoly, said on Tuesday.

In November, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said that Russia had agreed to lend his country over $4 billion to buy weapons.

Hugo is Ahmadinejad's little fanboy, and Russia isn't nearly as "reset" as our administration hopes our concessions will make them.
