Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, at the head of a high-ranking military delegation, has arrived in Tehran to hold talks with senior Iranian officials aimed at further bolstering bilateral relations and counter-terrorism cooperation.
Shoigu’s visit to Tehran on Tuesday afternoon came after an official invitation by Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri in June.
The Russian defense minister is scheduled to meet with Baqeri, with media reports saying discussions will revolve around advancing defense diplomacy, expanding bilateral cooperation, and addressing shared threats, particularly international terrorism.
Shoigu will also meet with the senior commanders of Iran’s Armed Forces during this visit to Tehran.
