This should surprise nobody by now. NYT reports that Russia plans to sell anti-aircraft equipment to Iran. This would give Iran the upper hand in the event of a bombing raid on its nuclear facilities. Obviously, this concerns Israel:
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert of Israel apparently failed to win a firm pledge on Tuesday that Moscow would halt advanced weapons sales to Israel’s enemies.
Wrapping up a two-day visit here, Mr. Olmert said only that he had succeeded in getting President Dmitri A. Medvedev of Russia to understand his fears that Russian-made missiles and other technology could fall into the hands of anti-Israeli guerrillas in the Middle East.
