Various IRGC achievements such as drones, missiles, and defense systems were visited by the Russian Minister of Defense.
The Commander of IRGC Aerospace Force Brigadier General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh accompanied Shoigu on his visit to the exhibition.
Heading a high-ranking military delegation, Shoigu traveled to Tehran on Tuesday upon an official invitation by the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Bagheri.
Following the meeting, Bagheri said that Tehran and Moscow are working to draw up a long-term military cooperation agreement in the near future.
Earlier on Wednesday, Shoigu met with his Iranian counterpart Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Ashtiani during which he said that relations with Iran are “reaching new highs” in defiance of the West’s pressure campaign targeting both countries.
Russia and Iran are determined to undertake planned activities despite opposition from the US and its Western allies, the minister underlined.
Shoigu’s visit comes a month after a visit to Moscow by a delegation, led by Brigadier General Kioumars Heydari, the commander of the Iranian Army’s Ground Force.
Iran and Russia are both subject to illegal Western sanctions. They have over the past years deepened their relations in various fields, including military and defense, and become close allies.
