MOSCOW, December 27. /TASS/. Iran is ready to consider Russia’s request for
using the Iranian military base at Hamadan at any time but talks on the
issue have not begun yet, Iranian Defense Minister Hossein Dehghan told RT
channel on Wednesday,
“Since we’re cooperating with Russia in struggle with terrorism, we’re given
some privileges to it as regards the landings and takeoffs of combat
aircraft and we’ll consider these privileges for Russia again when we feel
it necessary and if Russia makes a request for them,” he said adding that
the Iranian authorities would consider the current circumstances and would
make an appropriate decision.
“We didn’t sign any agreement with Russia that would allow it to use our
bases anytime,” Dehghan said. “Proceeding from the circumstances and in case
of a request from Russia, we’ll be ready to grant assistance if we see a
need for it.”
In August, the Russian Aerospace Force used the Iranian airbase at Hamadan
for the first time for delivering strikes at militants in Syria.
