The states arms export said that the sales of weapons has increased despite the financial situation of the world. The buyers include Iran which the world feels is a threat with their nuclear weapons.
Rosoboronoexport, Russian deffensive weapons manufacturer, said that their income has risen 10% in the past year. In 2005 Moscow signed a treaty with the Tehran to supply its forces (Iran's) with S-300's which are defensive systems that could be used to fight off air strikes. Even after the treaty, there have been no deliveries yet.
Russia might be supporting a sanction to help halt Iran's nuclear program now. The United states have created a treaty to secure all nuclear materials being imported and exported for the next four years. Russia hasn't signed yet but they seem to agree with the nations against Iran.
