We now see one of the first results of the disastrous deal that Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton made with Muslim terrorist Iran to legitimize their nuclear bomb-making program.

On Monday, Russia announced it has lifted its self-imposed ban on shipping sophisticated S-300 air defense missile systems to Iran. A deal was signed in 2007 worth roughly $800 million to transfer a S-300 surface-to-air missile system to Iran, but the U.S. and Israel successfully lobbied Russia to kill the deal, arguing that the system could protect Iran’s nuclear facilities from attack.

In 2010, then-President Dmitri Medvedev issued an order banning Russian S-300 missiles from being delivered to Iran. But on Monday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said, “At this stage, we believe the need for this kind of embargo, and a separate voluntary Russian embargo, has completely disappeared. I note that the S-300 air-defense missile system, which is exclusively of a defensive nature, is not suited for the purposes of attack and doesn’t threaten the security of any governments in the region, including, of course, Israel.” He added that U.N. sanctions don’t prevent the delivery of air-defense weapons to Iran.

Unwilling to let anything interfere with their plans to make a deal with Iran, the Obama Administration lamely responded through the State Department, whose spokeswoman Marie Harf said, “We don’t think this will have an impact on unity in terms of inside the negotiating room. We think given Iran’s destabilizing actions in the region, in places like Yemen or Syria or Lebanon, that this isn’t the time to be selling these kind of systems to them.”

Israeli Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz responded to the lifting of the ban by saying it was “direct result of the legitimacy that Iran is getting from the nuclear deal. It’s proof that the economic momentum that will come for Iran after lifting sanctions will be exploited for an arms buildup and not for the welfare of the people of Iran.”

Israel has seen any implementation of an Iranian S-300 system as a “red line,” and an attack on the outskirts of Damascus’ international airport in December was attributed by Syria to Syria’s housing of an S-300 anti-aircraft missile system. Russia had admitted it had delivered parts for the system to Syria.
