Croatia Suspected of Selling S-300 Antiaircraft Missiles to Iran
Croatia sold to Iran a few S-300 antiaircraft missile complexes of Soviet make, which it retained after the collapse of Yugoslavia, The Jerusalem Post reported with reference to Necenzurirano, the Internet edition of Croatia.
According to Necenzurirano, the vessels of Libyan Navy will deliver S-300s to Iran, and those ships have reached Croatia’s Kraljevica port already.
The Israeli defense officials haven’t commented on the information. The media reported earlier the disposal of remaining S-300 in Croatia, but the latter has never officially confirmed that disposal.
Israel has often expressed agitation about potential sale of S-300 to Iran, requesting Russia not to do it. At the same time, sources close to Mossad say Iran has S-300s already and uses them to defend nuclear facilities in Natanz
In Israel, they don’t doubt that the nuclear program of Iran is aimed at creating nuclear weapons, and therefore, don’t rule out the possibility of making preventive air attack to destroy the nuclear assets of Iran.
The Air Force of Israel held large-scale exercise above the Mediterranean Sea in early June of 2008. Quite a number of foreign media reported that the probable purpose was the preparation for the air assault on Iran.
