Ansari added that the delivery took place via the Caspian Sea.

Moscow signed an agreement to sell the S-300s to Tehran in 2007, but later suspended it under pressure from the United States and Israel.

Russian authorities said at the time - when the West was accusing Iran of secretly working on its nuclear program - that honoring the agreement would have "destabilized the region's security."

The contract was renewed last year, after Iran and six world powers signed an agreement on the country's nuclear program.
