All focus is on the presidential candidates, Hillary's e-mails and Trump. Meanwhile, Obama/Kerry make a nuke deal, bypass Congress, get U.N. approval and now Russia is moving ahead with Iran missile sale. So, let's see...the Clinton Foundation...Uranium One...Putin...Iran. Got it.
Obama administration objects as Russia moves ahead with Iran missile sale
Despite a ban on arms shipments to Iran under international sanctions, Russia appears willing to proceed with the sale of advanced S-300 surface-to-air missiles to the country -- in a development triggering objections from the Obama administration.
“We have long expressed our concerns over reports of the possible sale of this missile system to the Iranians,†Pentagon spokesman Capt. Jeff Davis told Fox News.
Russia, along with the U.S. and others, was a party to the recently struck Iran nuclear agreement, which keeps the arms embargo in place for five more years.
