Iran keen on balanced defense relations with regional states
On the other hand, Defense Minister Brigadier-General Hossein Dehqan said on Sunday that the Islamic Republic of Iran is willing to develop balanced defense relations with the regional states.

The ill-wishers in the US and its allies have created roadblocks for implementation of the JCPOA, said the minister.
Meanwhile, he elaborated on achievements of the JCPOA.
Arrogant powers seek to dominate others by discrimination measures and injustice toward the free and independent nations, the minister said.
The Islamic Republic of Iran should broaden its defense cooperation with different countries based on balanced and reasonable defense diplomacy, he said.
Iranian defense ministry and its armed forces are to present an exemplary model to broaden cooperation with different countries on defense, Dehqan said.
To attain the goal, the Iranian defense ministry should fully coordinate with foreign ministry to help broaden defense cooperation with various countries in Europe, Africa, Asia and Central Asia mainly after removal of economic sanctions and implementation of the JCPOA, the minister said.
