ISRAEL LISTS RUSSIAN COMPANIES AIDING IRAN
ISRAEL LINE TUESDAY, JULY 28, 1998
Labor Knesset member Ephraim Sneh, Chairman of the Knesset Subcommittee on
the Israel Defense Forces and Defense, presented information on Monday about
Russian companies assisting Iran's arms buildup to a delegation of Russian
parliamentarians, HA'ARETZ reported. Sneh presented a list of five Russian
companies assisting Iran in developing the medium-range ballistic missile it
tested last week.
Sneh said Moscow has announced that these companies are being investigated
because of their export of missile technology and know-how to Iran. For
Israel, Sneh told the Russian delegates, Russian aid to Iran "constitutes an
existential strategic question, and Russia must therefore terminate all such
assistance,".
MA'ARIV reported that The Dutch internal security service revealed in its
annual report that it uncovered in Holland attempts by Iraq, Iran, Pakistan
and Libya to obtain knowledge and materials for the development of weapons
of mass destruction.
