TEHRAN, 9 August (BelTA - IRNA) - Commander of the Belarusian Air Force, Major General Andrei Yulianovich Lukyanovich, has met with senior Iranian military officials in Tehran to discuss defense cooperation as well as threats facing both countries.

Gen. Lukyanovich, who is also the commander of Belarus’ Air Defense Force, met with Major General Seyyed Abdolrahim Mousavi, the chief commander of the Iranian Army.

The meeting focused on the shared threats and common interests faced by both Iran and Belarus, including American unilateralism and sanctions imposed by the United States and its European allies.

Gen. Mousavi highlighted Belarus’s strategic position as a barrier against NATO's expansion, saying that the Islamic Republic is also opposed to the enlargement of the US-led military alliance.

Lukyanovich, in response, reiterated his country’s opposition to American unilateralism and NATO's expansion. He also said that Belarus is committed to deepening military ties with Iran.

Additionally, the Belarusian commander visited the Iranian Air Force Headquarters, where he met with Brigadier General Hamid Vahedi, the commander of the Iranian Air Force.
