The probable reason for Iran’s refusal from the Russian S-400 is named.

The supply of Russian S-400 Triumph air defense systems to Iran is not subject to the UN ban, and Iran can at any time conclude a deal with Russia, however, despite the existing military threat from the United States and Israel, official Tehran does not want to buy Russian complexes. According to some reports, the reason lies not only in the fact that these air defense systems have a fairly high cost, but also in the fact that the complexes can be easily suppressed by the American military bases located in the region.

Analysts draw attention to the fact that with the effective range of the radars of the Russian air defense systems, the United States will be able to track their activity from virtually any of its military bases located in the Middle East, and this, in turn, will help to develop measures to counter the Russian S-400. Moreover, Iran is obviously dissatisfied with the absolute inaction of these systems in Syria, and therefore prefers to use its own developments.

Earlier it was assumed that in the fall Iran intends to conclude a large contract with Russia for the supply of S-400, however, given the fact that we are talking about defensive weapons, it cannot fall under the UN bans and if Tehran was really interested in Russian complexes. he almost certainly signed a contract with Russia now.
