Russia's anti missile missile
Russia has a system similar to the U. S. missile protection system in the testing faze.

Russia has successfully tested a modernized anti-ballistic missile at a range in the former Soviet Republic of Kazakhstan, its defense ministry says. . . . The test suggests Russia has a working system in place around Moscow as the US presses ahead with the deployment of its new anti-ballistic missile (ABM). BBC

It seems that many countries get bent out of shape of a defensive anti missile system. They know it will just make the U. S. and now Russia more arrogant and self confident when pushing other countries around. There is some treaty this stuff violates from well before people thought it was feasible. Oh, and from long before Iran had intercontinental ballistic nuclear weapons. Oh, wait, Iran doesn't have those yet, they are just doing research.

In 1995, Iran signed $940m in contracts with the Russian Ministry of Atomic Energy to complete a commercial nuclear power plant, and instantly became part of the nuclear weapons proliferation puzzle. Why, the experts began to ask, would Iran, a nation with huge supplies of natural gas, commit itself to an expensive nuclear power program that could not possibly generate electricity as cheaply as its natural gas program - unless of course the real plan was to gain the capability to make its own nuclear weapons.

Between Iran, Pakistan  and North Korea, it is no wonder the larger "super powers" are antsy. Maybe there was something to that whole "Axis of Evil" thing. You think? It sounds like the Russians could have saved themselves some headaches and just not sold a bunch of nuclear stuff to Iran in the first place.
