Iran actually has S200 an older system that is still capable of hiting high altitue flying planes
Article :BBC News - The 'unravelling relationship' between Russia and Iran
Moscow has earned billions, helping Iran bypass US and European Union (EU) sanctions.
Air defence
And yet, last month, Moscow supported UN sanctions against Iran over its nuclear programme.
Last week, President Dmitry Medvedev even publicly questioned the Iranian programme which is moving into a position that may allow Tehran to acquire nuclear weapons.
Previously, Russian officials maintained that there was no proof that Iran was developing nuclear weapons.
In December 2005, Russia agreed to sell Iran long-range S-300 anti-aircraft missiles - 40 to 60 launchers with four missile tubes each, radars, and control stations, worth some $1bn (£650m).
Together with the shorter-range Tor M1 and the older super-long-range S-200 already provided by Russia, Iran could build a solid anti-aircraft shield able to defend its nuclear facilities against a possible US or Israeli assault, and inflict serious damage to the attacking force.
**A reverse engineered S-200 system with Iranain upgraded radar
& upgrade would be possible
We all know Iran can reverse engineer radars so its not completely out of ordinary the question remain to integrate some of the newer tracking systems with existing missile technology they have
The S300 while it would have been nice but 30-40 of these used in large quantity would still poose a danger to any high flying plane
This post from 2008 points to Iranain already having Modified S-200 in service

Iran Test-Fires Modified S-200 Missile
Iran’s Air Force today test-fired its S-200 surface-to-air missile defense system. IRINN quoted IRIAF Commander Brig. Gen. Ahmad Miqani as saying the Air Force had made its own modifications to the S-200 system. Gen. Miqani added that the exercise was to test the efficiency level of passive defense systems against foreign threat.
The S-200 is a forty-year old medium- to high-altitude mobile surface-to-air missile system designed by the Russians. Its principal purpose is to target and destroy aircraft and cruise missiles.
Iran reported last month an agreement with Russia to purchase the advanced S-300 systems. Iran has already purchased TOR-M1 system from Russia.
Awesome propaganda Video awesome beat the opening was bit dramatic but good glimps of advancement in Iran
