Israel Matzav: Iran gives Russian pilots two months to leave

Iran gives Russian pilots two months to leave

Iran has given Russian commercial pilots working in the Islamic Republic two months to leave the country as it has no need for them, Transport Minister Hamid Behbahani was quoted as saying on Saturday.

The move is a further sign of strains between Iran and Russia, which has indicated it could back new sanctions against Tehran over its disputed nuclear work. For its part, Iran has voiced frustration over Moscow's failure to deliver a defence missile system.

Maybe. If it were really a sign of strains, why wouldn't they have told them to leave immediately?
