All during our global trade there have been limitations put on certain technologies to certain countries. Almost any new or advanced technology with a military application is almost always on the no-no list...like it or not. And we have been doing it for years.
To not be concerned about Russia making missles available to Iran is the epitomy of sticking one's head in the sand....totally and completely naieve....or just being dumb about the threats involved.
Iran is moving toward nuclear weapon capability in spite of what the world has been doing (?) and saying. For them to be getting missles from Russia should be of concern to every peace loving person in the world.
How convenient for Russia to sponsor missle capability to a country that would have no hesitation to use them.
For you to call it a "non-issue" must surely mean you do not understand the potential problem. To call others paranoid who understand the problem further makes one wonder why.
And oh by the way, yes the USA sells weapons to other countries. What you no doubt do not know is there is in fact a certain level of technology weapons that the USA will not sell. Older generation or non computer operated weapons are usually what is allowed to be sold.
I would also suggest an apology to your fellow posters for labelling them....incorrectly.

Excellent analysis ... the only point I'd disagree on is where and how deep the poster (ie the one you responded to) is actually sticking his or her head
