The Secretary of the Iranian Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani
revealed on Tuesday that Iran has established joint military headquarters
with Russia in Syria, according to alarabiya.net. The location of the HQ was
unspecified.
“We have initiated a joint work plan in cooperation with some countries in
the region to fight terrorism,” said Shamkhani. “It is a field and
diplomatic work; it needs counseling to overcome some of the obstacles.”
“The visit of Putin’s representative was in this framework,” he added. “We
have established a joint military headquarter with Russia in Syria with the
help of the Syrian army and the resistance forces and we have provided
counseling services too.”
The Secretary of the Iranian Supreme National Security Council talked about
the military cooperation between his country, Russia and Iraq saying: “We
are undertaking a joint military action in the axis formed by Iraq, Syria,
Iran and Russia to combat terrorism. What we saw recently regarding the use
of Russian aircrafts within the Iranian air space falls in this context.”
Regarding the meetings of Putin’s representative with Iranian officials,
Shamkhani said, “The Russian President’s representative has made several
proposals due to the new circumstances in the region. His proposals were
both on the military and political levels for the joint action plan. He
stressed that they are working hard to keep Syria a united country. We
talked about the proposals and we reached a work agreement in this
framework.”
