Chemezov said: "The signing of the contract or cancel the final decision must be made by the President."

June 9 this year, the UN Security Council on the Iranian nuclear issue through resolution No. 1929, decided to implement from 2006 to Iran since the fourth round of sanctions, including more stringent financial controls and weapons ban.

Selling S-300 air defense systems are considered to be within the scope of sanctions, although Russia earlier said that deliveries of the weapons will not be affected, because these weapons are not included in the UN Register of Conventional Arms.

Russia signed in December 2005 to provide Iran with at least five sets of S-300 system contracts, but the contract has been delayed implementation. (China Research Institute of Shipbuilding Technology & Economy Luo Qing Zhang)
