Iran’s defense minister says the Islamic Republic and China share a very successful experience of defense cooperation and are determined to strengthen mutual relations in the defense sector.
Brigadier General Hossein Dehqan made the remarks in a meeting with China’s Defense Minister Chang Wanquan in Moscow, Russia, on Friday.
The Iranian official brought up the issue of the ISIL Takfiri terrorists and the extent of their influence in East Asia, which he stated, meant a threat to security of China, the Caucasus region and the Central Asia.
Brigadier General Dehqan, who was in the Russian capital to attend the fourth Moscow International Security Conference, also emphasized that regional countries should improve serious cooperation and interaction to eradicate Takfiri-Zionist groups.
He denounced the West for supporting terrorist groups and violating the rights of nations in the region and warned that insecurity would have its own repercussions for the very governments that support the extremist groups.
He added that a meeting which is scheduled to be held among Iran, Russia and China in the near future would play a very effective role in “countering common threats and settling security problems in the region.”
The Chinese defense minister, for his part, hailed Iran’s proposal for the trilateral meeting and stressed the importance of improving bilateral and multilateral defense and military on global issues.

Russia has signed a new contract to supply Iran with sophisticated S-300 surface-to-air missiles.
The contract got the go-ahead after international sanctions on Iran were lifted earlier this year, following a deal over its nuclear program.
Israel, the US and Saudi Arabia are all opposed to the missile contract.
Russian officials say the first batch could be delivered 18 months after Iran has specified the S-300 type that it wants. Technical talks are continuing.
"The deal to supply the S-300 to Iran has not only been signed between the parties but it has already come into force," said Sergei Chemezov, head of Russia's Rostec arms firm, speaking at the Dubai Airshow-2015.
The $800m (£545m) contract, signed in 2007, was frozen by Russia in 2010 because of the international sanctions. President Vladimir Putin unfroze it in April.
Israel and the US fear the missiles could be used to protect Iranian nuclear sites from air strikes
The missiles can shoot down jets and other missiles hundreds of kilometres away
The S-300 can be used against multiple targets including jets, or to shoot down other missiles.
The S-300B4 variant - delivered to the Russian armed forces last year - can shoot down any medium-range missile in the world today, flies at five times the speed of sound and has a range of 400km (248 miles), Tass reports.
When the Russian deal was suspended Iran filed a lawsuit seeking billions of dollars in damages.
Mr Chemezov said Saudi Arabia had asked Rostec repeatedly not to supply the S-300 to Iran.
But he insisted that it was a defensive weapon. "So if the Gulf countries are not going to attack Iran... why should they be threatened? Because this is defence equipment," Reuters news agency quoted him as saying.

Iranian Leader's Military and Strategic Thinking
Saturday 17 October 2015
When it comes to shaping Iran's military strategy, there exists a dominant intellectual school of thought within the mindset of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and high-ranking military officials of Iran, which cannot be taken lightly. The existing strategy firmly believes that the United States cannot put up with an independent Iran and its final goal is regime change in the country. Based on this mentality, Iran's powerful influence in neighboring countries would allow it to protect itself in the face of foreign aggression and military attacks.
Of course, this mindset has not been created in a void. Just a few months ago and in an interview with the New York Times, US President Barack Obama made a reference to the root cause of this issue, which proves that the mental images and concerns of Iran's leadership are not illegitimate. In fact, following the experience of the war between Iran and Iraq, the Islamic Republic’s military strategy has been based by the country’s leader on establishing powerful relations in the region (including with the resistance axis) to make sure that a similar calamity (like war with Iraq) would not happen again. Apart from the existential threat that the United States and Israel pose to Iran, there are also crossing security conflicts in Iran's regional environment most of which are designed and supported by some of Iran's neighboring countries in order to weaken the Islamic Republic’s standing. Therefore, security concern is the most essential issue facing Iran and the first and foremost motivation for the country’s leadership is survival in the sense of safeguarding national sovereignty (that is, political independence and territorial integrity) of the country. This issue has been stressed by Iran since the Islamic Revolution in 1979.
Ayatollah Khamenei, in a recentmeeting with officials and commanders of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army in the northern port city of Noshahr, said in this regard that “by speeding up their advances and boosting their preparedness, the Armed Forces must create such a power that the enemies [of Iran] would not even dare think about invading [the country].” Therefore, the question posed here is “does this approach recommend adoption of an aggressive policy or is just based on a defense strategy?” It must be noted that, in fact, the Iranian leader’s most important goal is to prevent other regional countries from increasing their power in such a way as to disturb the balance of power to detriment of Iran. In fact, the foremost concern of Iran's leader is not to maximize the country’s power, but to maintain his country’s standing within the international system. This means that Ayatollah Khamenei’s strategy for countering the efforts and measures taken by rival countries in the region and the world, is to boost Iran's power to create balance.
Apart from the United States, which has always been threatening Iran by saying that “all options are on the table,” the Israeli regime, which is close to Iran in geographical terms, has never given up its overt threats against the country and has even worked out numerous scenarios for launching a military attack against Iran. The new round of such threats began in 2011, when many heated debates were going on about the reaction that the United States and Israel would show to Iran's peaceful nuclear activities. It was due to these threats and aggressive intentions that Iran's military doctrine, through a public address by Ayatollah Khamenei, entered a new phase on the basis of the balance of threats. The leader, in an important speech made at Imam Ali Military Academy in October 2011, announced that “in the face of threat we will resort to threat.” It was here that the concept of “balance of threat” was added to Iran's military strategy.
Hefty military spending by Iran's neighboring countries with support from the West, has increasingly faced Iran with a “security dilemma.” Therefore, since Iran's defense capabilities have relatively reduced in comparison with neighboring countries as a result of multiple kinds of sanctions imposed on the country, the Islamic Republic has a clear reason to embark on developing its missile industries in order to defend its security. In fact, the proven ability of Israel and the United States to attack their potential rivals, along with their immunity to punishment, has encouraged Iran to acquire conventional military potentials and armament so that its enemies would not be able to attack it. These realities also force Iran to try and maintain its position in the regional balance of powers by acquiring the necessary amount of power instead of pursuing hegemonic goals.
Therefore, within the framework of defensive realism, the dominant behavioral model and military doctrine of the Islamic Republic, based on Ayatollah Khamenei's views, is geared toward creating balance. In this way, Iran assesses threats posed to it by other countries on the basis of its own relative power, geographical proximity and propinquity, as well as the defense-offense balance before taking step toward creating internalized and externalized balance. According to externalized balance, the leader of Iran believes that the Islamic Republic of Iran should relay on its national potentialities to boost its power and counteract threats in a unilateral manner. Iran's foreign policy and defensive behavior during the imposed war as well as in the course of the nuclear diplomacy can be analyzed within this framework. According to the model of creating externalized balance, the Islamic Republic of Iran adopts a multilateral approach in order to build new coalitions and alliances as a prelude to creating balance. Iran's policy of looking to the east, which was based on establishing closer relations with the People’s Republic of China and membership at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, can be considered as an example of externalized creation of balance as purported by the Iranian leader to counter and thwart threats posed by the United States and Israel.
This issue proves that Iran's military strategy under the command and in line with the approach of Ayatollah Khamenei is of a defensive nature whose main goal is to maintain the status quo. Even American officials have at times admitted to this issue. Therefore, following suit with this military strategy, Iran has turned into an independent actor with independent defensive approaches, which are based on active deterrence. According to this approach, as adopted by Ayatollah Khamenei, Iran has a historical background and important identity in regional issues and this is why the country never shifts its strategy in the face of regional issues and continues to pursue a single principle. Therefore, despite all shortcomings and considerations with which we are faced in this regard, “defensive realism” is the closest theory of international relations to Ayatollah Khamenei's way of thinking.
The only exception and difference between these two is that Kenneth Waltz believed that due to being located in the midst of such nuclear powers as Israel, India, Pakistan and Russia, Iran must have nuclear weapons in order to defend itself and create balance. However, the Iranian leader has issued his religious fatwa, clearly prohibiting possession and use of all kinds of weapons of mass destruction and does not believe in such form of balance.

It looks like Russian long range bombers are attacking Syria from the safety of Iranian airspace

Another US official said Russia had fired "about 20" cruise missiles from the Caspian Sea, all of which appeared to have landed in Syria.

Why not, they had used Iran's air space for their previous cruise attack from Caspian Sea. That is what I call a War Command room by the way!

Iran’s Police Using Aerial Vehicles for Arbaeen Security in Iraq
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – An Iranian Police commander said a range of aerial vehicles are flown over border crossings with Iraq to ensure security for the pilgrims that travel to the Arab country to attend the mass processions marking Arbaeen.
Speaking to Tasnim on Saturday, Lieutenant Commander of Iran’s Law Enforcement Special Forces General Habibollah Jannesari said the police units have been employing drones, balloons, gyroplanes and helicopters to monitor the situation as hundreds of thousands of Iranians are going on pilgrimage to Iraq to perform mourning rituals on Arbaeen, one of the holiest events for Shiite Muslims.
The commander also highlighted the police’s close watch on the traffic of people at the borders with Iraq, including Mehran, Chazzabeh and Shalamcheh border crossings.
Last week, Iran’s Air Defense Commander Brigadier General Farzad Esmaili also gave an assurance that the country is closely monitoring its airspace over the western region and beyond to ensure security for the pilgrims during Arbaeen.
Arbaeen, on which one of the largest religious gatherings in the world is held in the Iraqi holy city of Karbala, comes 40 days after Ashura, the martyrdom anniversary of the third Shiite Imam, Imam Hussein (AS).
Each year, a huge crowd of Shiites flock to Karbala, where the holy shrine of Imam Hussein (AS) is located, to perform mourning rites.
Last year, around 20 million pilgrims from all over the world gathered in Karbala to attend the mourning ceremonies marking Arbaeen.

Russia starts shipping S-300 air defense systems to Iran
MOSCOW, Dec. 30 (Xinhua) -- Russia has started shipping S-300 air defense missile systems to Iran, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said Wednesday.
"The contract is being executed and paid for. Delivery is carried out, and this contract will be followed by others," Rogozin said in a live interview with Rossiya 24 TV channel.
He added that the contract for the S-300 system opened up new opportunities for cooperation between Moscow and Tehran in both the military and civil spheres.
Moscow and Tehran signed an 800-million-U.S. dollar contract in 2007 to supply Iran with five S-300 systems.
In September 2010, then Russian President Dmitry Medvedev canceled the contract in line with a resolution of the United Nations Security Council, which banned the supply of conventional weapons to Iran.
Iran, in response, submitted a 4-billion-dollar claim against Russia to an international arbitration court in Geneva.
In early April this year, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree to lift the ban on sales of S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems after Iran and six world powers, including Russia, reached a framework accord on parameters of Iran's controversial nuclear program.
Rogozin said earlier this month that Iran would withdraw the lawsuit against Russia after the latter supplies the first division of the S-300 missile systems.
