Despite objections from the Russian Government, the United States of America signed a pact with Poland for delivering future Anti missile shield for protection against anticipated threats from Iran or any other country.

The US anti missile protection shield would be stationed in Poland. Deal was signed in the presence of the US secretary of state Hillary Clinton at the Polish City of Krakow.

This is a pact that aims to defend Europe against all kinds of potential threats from Iran and elsewhere. According to Clinton who attended the Joint News Conference with Radoslaw Sikorski the Polish Foreign Minister, the United States of America is deeply concerned and committed to meet the security and soverigfhnty needs of Poland.

He also added that signing the ballistic missile agreement, the US government is renewing their commitment to spread peace and security in the entire world.

There have been recent changes in the Poland where the US president Barrack Obama, decided last year to scrap the plan by George Bush according  to which the government was supposed to deploy longer range Missile defense system for Poland.

Presently smaller Sea and land based missiles would be sent to Poland and Czech Republic. Poland seems to have accepted the new approach as stated by Sikorski.
