Iran is interested in helping Belarus to restore its air defense systems and electronic warfare, which were damaged during the June 12-day war with Israel. On Friday it informed the service of foreign intelligence Ukraine (SZRU), writes TASR according to The Kyiv Independent.
Belarusian President Alexandr Lukashenko met his Iranian counterpart Masuds Pezekijan in Minsk on Wednesday. The leaders subsequently declared that countries are planning to deepen their bilateral relationships in all areas, including defense or trade.
According to Szra, Tehran asked Minsk for help in the field of military-technical support. “Unlike Russia, Belarus is less limited by sanctions in the military-technical field and could become a channel to restore Iran’s defense abilities,” It is stated in its opinion.
According to the SZRA report, Iran is also seeking assistance in solving a serious lack of equipment for the production of electricity and agricultural machines. “For Minsk, this represents a prospect of participation in projects that go beyond the officially announced topics. Iran plans Use Belarus as another channel to access sanctioned goods, ”added the Ukrainian authority.
The conflict between Iran and Israel began on 13 June on June 13 by air attacks of Israel on several targets in Iran with the declared aim to prevent the Islamic Republic from getting a nuclear weapon. Israel killed several nuclear scientists in the air raids. Tehran answered rocket attacks. The United States was also involved in the bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities. After 12 days, US President Donald Trump announced that the parties had been a ceasefire.
The Kyiv Independent recalls that Both Tehran and Minsk are long -term allies of Moscow and support her invasion of Ukraine. Iran supplies Russia’s drones and ballistic missiles, while Belarus allowed it to use its territory as a base for operations against Kiev.
