Russian defense minister in Tehran
PRESS TV – Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, at the head of a high-ranking military delegation, arrived in Tehran on Tuesday 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 was scheduled to meet with Baqeri, with media reports saying discussions would revolve around advancing defense diplomacy, expanding bilateral cooperation, and addressing shared threats, particularly international terrorism.
