Reply #2: Not that it matters at all

Russia's reply was a small slap in the face, but at the same time our warning was toothless and ultimately pointless.
These missiles alone do not move Iran into a dramatically higher class of weapons technology and their purchase is public knowledge. As soon as we know we have them, we simply modify any existing attack plans. More stealth will be employed and the AA batteries themselves may be targeted once they show up on satellite.
