Iran is ramping up its efforts to export military equipment and training to its allies in the Middle East and across the globe, a top Iranian general said.
Iran plans to ramp up its exportation of weapons and other military equipment in the coming months, one of the country's top generals said Wednesday.
"Introducing the Islamic Republic’s defense and military capabilities and sharing them [with friendly countries] can expand the country’s defense relations and strengthen deterrence," Baqeri said at a Wednesday press conference, according to Iranian state-run Press TV.
"The Iranian Armed Forces are fully prepared to upgrade the level of ties in various fields, including the wholesale export of defense and military equipment as well as training, exercises and the practical transfer of experience," he added.
Baqeri says the program will be a key aspect in developing better relations with its allies in the region, though he did not offer specifics about any countries Iran has plans to work with.
He went on to argue that Iran's move is part of a changing world order that is seeing power shift away from Western countries.
"The future world is a different world. The new world order geometry is altering with the emergence of several new powers, particularly in Asia and in different fields," he said.
