Russia wants 'red button' rights for US missile defense system

"In practical terms, that means that our office will sit for example in Brussels and agree on a red-button push to launch an interceptor missile, regardless of whether the missile is launched from Poland, Russia or the UK."

The United States has said the new shield is needed to protect Europe and itself from long-range missile attacks from rogue states such as Iran.

Well all that is quite interesting given the fact that
the state-run energy company from Russia--Atomstroyexport--is arming Iran currently. The company is re-fuelling Iran's nuclear power plant.
