Iran to build system similar to S-300
Iran says the construction of a missile defense system similar to the sophisticated Russian S-300 anti-aircraft system is still on the country's agenda.
Iranian Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi told reporters on Wednesday that Iran still plans to construct the system.
His remarks come after Moscow decided to suspend a much-delayed deal to deliver the system to Iran.
"A decision has been taken not to supply the S-300 to Iran, they undoubtedly fall under sanctions," chief of the Russian General Staff, Gen. Nikolai Makarov said on Wednesday.
"The authorities decided to suspend the process of supplies," ITAR-TASS News Agency quoted Makarov as saying.
Under a contract signed in 2005, Russia was required to provide Iran with at least five S-300 air-defense systems. However, Moscow's continuous delays in delivering the defense system drew criticism from Tehran on several occasions.
Following the adoption of Resolution 1929 by UN Security Council (UNSC) against Iran, Russian authorities began making conflicting statements about how the new sanctions would affect the contract.
Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said in June that Moscow would "freeze the delivery of the S-300 missiles" to Iran as it runs counter to the new round of UN Security Council sanctions on the country.
Putin's remarks came as Russia's Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov had earlier said UN sanctions would not affect the S-300 contract with Iran, as these missiles are "defensive weapons" and do not fall under the terms of the sanctions.
Iran has been trying to obtain the sophisticated defense system to improve its deterrence power in reaction to Israeli war rhetoric.
Experts believe the S-300 missile defense system can shield Iranian nuclear sites from any Israeli airstrike.

Full George Galloway Speech at Trinity-St. Paul's United Church Toronto Canada - Oct
03 2010 - As you may all know by now that the Federal Court ruling has condemned the
efforts of Conservative Immigration Minister Jason Kenney and his Communications
Director, Alykhan Velshi, to deny British MP George Galloway entry to Canada. In a
judgment released Monday (Sept. 27), Justice Richard Mosley found that Kenney’s and
Velshi’s efforts to keep Mr. Galloway out of the country were motivated by
disagreement with Mr. Galloway’s politics, rather than by national security
concerns. So now George Galloway returned to Canada to deliver in person the message
he was forced to deliver by Internet connection in March 2009.

Amir Mehdi Kazemi, Press TV, Tehran
These are familiar scenes nowadays in Iran as millions celebrate the birthday of Imam Mahdi the twelfth and the last Imam of Shiite Muslims.
Every year streets and villages across Iran are illuminated on the fifteenth of the month of Sha'aban in the lunar calendar. Additionally special ceremonies are held in Iran's most religious cities Mashad, and Qom.
Based on Shiite faith the twelfth Imam lives among his people but remains unknown until the day he reappears as a savior of mankind, filling the world with his blessings.
According to the belief of Shiites and some Sunnis Imam Mahdi is hidden by God and will unite all Muslims at the time of his reappearance.
They say that upon his arrival he will be accompanied by a number of holy men including Jesus Christ…
During the night of the occasion the believers gather outside their homes. They fill the streets celebrating the event while seeking forgiveness and repenting to God, praying that their hidden Imam will rid the world of error, injustice and tyranny.
The 15th of Sha'ban is also marked in other countries such as Pakistan, Afghanistan and India.

Part two of show looked at the case of Sheikh Raed Salah, leader of the Northern branch of the Islamic Movement in Israel, has been in Britain, either in prison or on bail since his arrest 3 months ago. UK authorities have sought to deport him but Salah has challenged both his arrest and pending deportation. He's currently appealing his deportation before an immigration and asylum tribunal in Birmingham. Separately, the High Court in London ruled last week that part of Salah's dention in June was unlawful. Salah is accused of anti Semitism and Home Secretary Theresa May has sought to exclude him from the UK on the grounds that his presence in the UK isn't conducive to the public good. To discuss the case was Shamiul Joarder of Friends of al Aqsa, Sarah Colborne, who's Director of The Palestine Solidarity Campaign and on the phone Dr Hanan Chehata of the Middle East Monitor
