Russia’s use of Iranian airbase doesn’t violate UN resolutions
Russian Defense Ministry said Aug. 16 that Russian bombers, taking off from Iran’s Hamadan Airbase, hit the positions of the IS and Jabhat al-Nusra terrorist groups in Syrian provinces of Aleppo, Deir ez-Zor and Idlib. Reportedly, the Russian war planes struck five large weapons, ammunition, fuel and lubricants depots and training camps of the militants near Syria’s Serakab, Al-Bab, Aleppo and Deir ez-Zor.
After this statement, Head of Iran’s National Security Council Ali Shamkhani said that Tehran and Moscow are sharing facilities and capacities in the fight against terrorism.
“The Tehran-Moscow cooperation in fighting terrorism in Syria is strategic and we exchange capacities and facilities in this regard,” added Shamkhani.
