This article discusses Iranian claims that Russia has started delivering the S-300 advanced air defense system to the Islamic Republic. Previously, Russia has denied that it would do so.

In general, this article is too speculative and lacks sufficient context to really be "fit to print." The reporter does not directly state how such a weapons system could greatly complicate potential U.S. or Israeli efforts to launch aerial attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities if it fails to comply with the demands of the international community to halt its nuclear program.

It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
