Iran willing to share defensive capabilities with Asian partners, deputy defence minister says

-

DUBAI, April ‌28 (Reuters) - Iran is ready to share ​its defensive weapons capabilities with "independent countries, especially members ⁠of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO)", Deputy Defence Minister Reza Talaei-Nik said on Tuesday, according ​to Iranian state media. 

Iran fought a war with ‌the United States and Israel from late February to early April, during which it launched ⁠waves of drones and missiles ⁠aimed at U.S. bases across the region as well as Israeli sites, while also intermittently shooting down U.S. aerial targets over ‌its airspace, primarily drones.

"We are ready to ⁠share the experiences of America's ‌defeat with other members ​of the organisation," Talaei-Nik said during a meeting of SCO defence ministers held in ‌the Kyrgyz capital.

The Iranian official ​recently held talks ⁠with Russian and Belarusian defence personnel, ‌with Moscow and Minsk ⁠stressing their will to continue cooperation with Tehran.

The war is on hold following a ​ceasefire announced earlier ‌this month, but efforts to resolve the two-month ⁠conflict have stalled.
