Congressmen ask Obama to explain why he did not respond to Iran’s purchase of Russian C-300

The US administration is not in a hurry to respond to the request of congressmen, in which they are asked to explain why the president did not use the law and did not impose sanctions on Iran’s purchase of the C-300 air defense system, reports Look with reference to Free Beacon.

"President Obama has the authority, in accordance with US law, to recognize as illegal the recent Russian sale of Iran to the C-300 system, which, according to lawmakers, will contribute to the growth of Iran’s military potential," explains the resource.

The article notes that while "the Obama administration refuses to use its powers under this law."

As Congressman Steve Shabo noted, “The White House continues to jeopardize Western countries' efforts to block sales. weapons". He expressed dissatisfaction with the administration’s interim response from June 8, which states that no decision has been made yet to impose sanctions.

“Honestly, I am disappointed with the administration’s response to my letter, asking me to acknowledge that the transfer of the C-300 missile system to Russia is developing their efforts to acquire advanced weapons systems. Such behavior is discouraging, especially since the administration claims that it is trying to convince Russia not to proceed with the transfer of arms, ”said Shabo.

The White House was assured that they are still "concerned about selling C-300, but are not yet ready to make a decision." The reasons for such indecision are not specified.

Meanwhile, the State Department stated that they are still studying the “possible effect of the sale of Russian anti-aircraft missile systems” to Iran.

“I do not know whether the final decision was made. We have previously expressed our concern about this possible sale and we are still finding out what the consequences could be, ”explained the agency’s representative, John Kirby.

“We are checking what this will mean for us in terms of the sanctions regime,” he added.

I express concern about the transfer of weapons to terrorists using parachute systems from the US Air Force.

PS There is not enough request on the news feeds to forgive us on behalf of Akhedzhakova

[seti]

Because the overseas understand that Russia may well sell the S-300 and even the S-400 not only to Iran, but to anyone. And where these complexes will be, the US planes do not fly or bomb in the name of "democracy"

[jjj]

But I wonder if the Americans have time to get involved in any military adventure before the New Year?

[bulvas]

For Americans, such a ban has several purposes.

- Another article accusing Russia of violations of all_ democratic_ values

- the lifting of bans on the sale of weapons to where there are still bans

The US Congress (however, like any other parliament in the world) is a gathering of lobbyists, overt and covert, legitimate and simply bribe-takers living by solving the problems of their sponsors

That's just Russia will listen, grin and continue to sell weapons to other countries.

The fact is that if the Russian Federation begins to sell S-300 systems, and God forbid CLUB-K to all countries that are not democratic enough from the point of view of mattresses, then it’s impossible to just fit an aircraft carrier and bombard an unpleasant state from the heart.
Congress’s concern is understandable. Another question is where they can curtail this concern and prohibitions and put them in ...

On the contrary, imagine that the countries of the second or third world massively purchase and put on duty the S-300, Bastion, Club-K, S-400, etc. complexes ... then the question arises - how in this case, with the "spread" of democracy will be used by the AUG for which the United States pays every day quite a lot of money (I really do not consider the cost of the aircraft carrier itself).
And apparently, the story of the closure of Syria by our S-400s showed the governments of weak states how to complicate the life of the world hegemon so that he would not so eagerly spread the light of democracy around the world.

There the train will be air defense! S-400 too .... So welcome to the "unmanned zone" gentlemen! We all remember ... (especially Yugoslavia!)

Yes, just Americans do not like our anti-democratic air defense systems!

Which in an "absolutely unprofessional manner" are capable of shooting down their Democratic bombers.

[Blondy]

President Obama has the power, in accordance with US law, to invalidate the recent sale by Russia to Iran of the S-300 system, while the Obama administration refuses to use its authority under this law.

Of course, at first I was most intrigued by the method of exercising (or updating according to the current fashion) powers. But looking at the root, I came to the conclusion that our deputies still need to study and learn from the congressmen as they need to be foolish with global reach, this is not a fight against smoking or the invention of new taxes for Russian citizens.

Colleague, great comment. We must pay tribute to your wit.

[Alexanast]

We previously expressed our concern about this possible sale.

Well, also sell the S-400, let them continue to be concerned

[ydjin]

I think you can also put several S-400 divisions into Cuba.

[Scoun]

Ah ha ha !! really finally connected with reality, these congressmen lost))) degenerate along the way.

“President Obama has the authority, in accordance with US law, to invalidate the recent sale by Russia of Iran’s S-300 system,

they think of themselves as gods half-fools. The laws of the United States are for the United States, the sale of weapons by Russia can be initiated either by appealing to a treaty (at least two-sided) or the UN, all the rest are in the woods.

[ser-pov]

All that, you could have already imposed! And what kind of law are we talking about? When was the Amer Prizedinet telling Russia what to do and what not? Absolutely exclusive from its own exclusiveness, the tower is tearing ...

[donavi49]

There is a sense there. The USA may press for violation of the conditions for lifting sanctions and return thereof. Iran is forbidden to build the offensive potential of 5 years with the possibility of extending this period.

However, the C-300 is a SAM, and therefore defensive weapons.

But who did it stop? I mean, call red - white and back under sanctions.

On the other hand, the EU is unlikely to support, but as recent events have shown, the EU will do what the United States orders.

Fuck, the Yankees are completely foolish if they believe that they can impose their own laws on anyone.

[nik-karata]

Thou shalt mate !!! When at these dives the fart will burst from the re-control of everything and everything!

[Wolka]

The S-300 and its lasts are a good argument and a deterrent so that the Yankees henceforth do not stick their snotty nose everywhere ...

[sergey2017]

All gentlemen, congressmen, did the train leave? Your concern about the sale of the S-300 missile system by Russia is understandable, as will increase the military potential of Iran's missile defense! Nobody can convince Russia!

[pafegosoff]

It seems to me that after all the sanctions that have been imposed on Russia, it remains only to play with legs and squeal ...
Aw! Americans! Tell me!

[grandfather]

under attack our dark agent,) be strong, there is no money.)
pushing complexes, money will be a point go away from the point of a point preparing a replacement point

[DMB_95]

But what if the striped president declares the deal between Russia and Iran invalid, will it cancel it? Will they impose sanctions? So Russia and Iran are used to sanctions. But the staff arrogance even ceases to amaze. Just fucked up with conceit. How painful it will be for them to fall — they are not eternal. Yes, and they have already begun to fall, just do not understand yet.

[Yun Klob]

And all because Obama did not have to vomit in the 2015 year and make himself a rajah.

He didn’t react if there was an explanation-reassurance from the administration that these complexes were supplied too little and that they were nothing compared to the thousands of cruise missiles that the Americans were ready to launch over Iran.

And you would not all go, Americans!

"President Obama has the authority under US law to recognize as illegal the recent sale by Russia of Iran of the S-300 system, which, according to lawmakers, will help increase the military potential of Iran." ---- This is especially fun. And what about the fact that it is recognized? Will S-300 be taken from Iran back?

[sergeyzzz]

And now let them go away from Iran.

[sir_obs]

No, if the Iranians bring down a Merikos plane carrying democracy in bomb bombs, they will yell that it is illegal and impose sanctions

[BOB044]

Gentlemen congressmen, take yourself for an intimate place and calm down. After all, we Russia are selling the S-300 and not you the United States. So shut up please.

[aszzz888]

After all, we Russia are selling the S-300 and not you the United States. So shut up please.

So they have heartburn and diarrhea begins, with any transaction! After all, they need to stick their long nose everywhere ...

[semuel]

Another piece of the sky is closing for Americans, which makes snot bubbles.

[aszzz888]

The exceptional ones again have diarrhea — very worried about the sale of the C300!

[plow]

And this is how it should be now and forever. Russia is strong, Russia is not angry, it is focusing, doing what it sees fit. And America is indecisive, perplexed, does not know how to react, loudly so that everyone hears declares its shame.

[dengy12]

I can imagine what a howl would rise in pendo3tana if the DPRK were sold with the 300

[ML-334]

Now, if Iran bought any weapons from the Americans, there would be no increase in military potential.

[33 Watcher]

"President Obama has the authority under US law to invalidate Russia's recent sale of the S-300 system to Iran."

And what is the matter of Russia and Iran, to the legislation of the USA?

[Stinger]

Meanwhile, the State Department stated that they are still studying the “possible effect of the sale of Russian anti-aircraft missile systems” to Iran.

Why study. It is clear that the effect will be the same as that of the American missile defense system in Europe. Secure yourself and fuck at the mongrel shtatovskih.

[avg-mgn]

to recognize as illegal the recent sale by Russia to Iran of the C-300 system, which, according to lawmakers, will contribute to the growth of Iran’s military potential

If you do not climb into the sky of Iraq, then you will not feel the growth of potency.

Something "heavy" is accepted, already completely "rips off the lid" from exclusivity. Ochnes the stars and stripes are carrying you. American stealth planes are invisible to American radars ....)))

[rotmistr60]

we are still figuring out what consequences this could lead to.

K is very simple. When once again there is a desire to bomb someone, you will probably finally think about it, but is it worth it?

[Ros 56]

And who is your cheburek to tell the whole world who and what to trade, we wanted to spit on such "partners". If you want to measure your strength, try it, I'm afraid all your bases from all over Europe will run without looking back.

Time to rename you, "America's Sanctioned Pants"

[zulusuluz]

The White House was assured that they are still "concerned about selling C-300, but are not yet ready to make a decision." The reasons for such indecision are not specified.

Because not even the smart ones understand: aggravate the incident, calling the C300 an offensive weapon, Russia will immediately call it the missile defense system in Europe.
