Iran
Talks held over missile upgrade
Iran negotiated with Russia at the weekend over buying an upgraded version of the S-300 surface-to-air missile defense system, which it requires to meet its military needs, a foreign ministry spokesman in Teheran said. Iran was blocked from obtaining the S-300 before it reached a deal with world powers in July on curbing its nuclear program, with Russia having canceled a contract to deliver an older version of the system in 2010.
