A senior Iranian official says Iran and Russia are engaged in “strategic” cooperation and exchange of capacities to fight terrorism in Syria.

 “Tehran-Moscow cooperation in the fight against terrorism in Syria is strategic and we exchange capacities and potentialities in this field,” Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Shamkhani told IRNA on Tuesday.

 Shamkhani made the remarks in reaction to a statement by Russian Defense Ministry on Tuesday that Russian warplanes have taken off from an air base in the western Iranian city of Hamedan to target Daesh Takfiri terrorists and other terrorists in Syria.

“On August 16, Tu-22M3 long-range bombers and Su-34 frontline bombers, flying with a full bomb load from the Hamedan air base, conducted a group air strike against targets” of Daesh and Jabhat Fath al-Sham terrorists in the Syrian provinces of Aleppo, Dayr al-Zawr and Idlib, the Russian ministry said.

The SNSC secretary also stated that Iran has managed to establish stability and security in the country and will continue to provide advisory assistance to those countries plagued with terrorism.

Iran-Russia-Syria cooperation against terrorists

Shamkhani further said constructive cooperation among Iran, Russia and Syria has created a “very tough” situation for terrorists.

“As a result of the constructive and extended cooperation among Iran, Russia, Syria and the resistance front, the situation has become very tough for terrorists and this process will continue with the beginning of a new and extended operation until their annihilation,” the senior Iranian official said.

He emphasized that preventing foreign-backed militants from using civilians as human shield must be taken into consideration as an inevitable approach to dealing blows to terrorist groups.

Shamkhani noted that proper measures have been taken in this regard and the dispatch of foodstuff and medicine has not been stopped despite blind attacks by terrorist groups.
