Iran Willing to Share Defensive Capabilities with Asian Partners

Tuesday, 28 April 2026 07:32 AM EDT

Iran ‌is ready to share its defensive weapons capabilities with "independent countries, especially members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO)," Deputy Defense 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 organization," ⁠Talaei-Nik said during a ‌meeting of ⁠SCO defense ministers held in the Kyrgyz ⁠capital.

The ⁠Iranian official recently held talks with Russian and Belarusian ‌defense 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.
