Iran’s Deputy Defense Minister announced Tuesday that the country stands ready to transfer its defensive military technology to allied nations, particularly those belonging to the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, according to reports from Iranian state media.
Deputy Defense Minister Reza Talaei-Nik made the announcement during a defense ministers’ meeting in Kyrgyzstan’s capital city. The statement follows a two-month military confrontation between Iran and both the United States and Israel that stretched from late February through early April.
During that conflict, Iranian forces deployed multiple waves of unmanned drones and missile strikes targeting American military installations throughout the region and Israeli locations. Iran also successfully intercepted various U.S. aircraft, mostly drones, that entered Iranian airspace during the hostilities.
“We are ready to share the experiences of America’s defeat with other members of the organisation,” Talaei-Nik stated during the SCO defense ministers’ gathering.
The Iranian defense official has recently conducted discussions with military leaders from Russia and Belarus, with both Moscow and Minsk expressing their commitment to maintaining collaborative relationships with Tehran.
While a ceasefire declaration earlier this month has temporarily suspended the two-month military confrontation, diplomatic initiatives aimed at achieving a permanent resolution to the conflict have reached an impasse.
