Ties between Pakistan and Iran Air Force
Moreover, during his visit to Pakistan, the Commander of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Air Force described the unilateral sanctions as an opportunity, particularly for the Armed Forces.
He stated that the Iranian Air Force was willing to share the experience with the Pakistan Air Force in all areas. Brigadier General Hamid Vahedi also indicated a desire to further develop defense relations with Pakistan.
Any strengthening of relations with Pakistan will be welcomed by Iran since it will help to stabilize the security of both nations. Stronger links between Iran and Pakistan would lead to both nations’ development, particularly in military domains.
Iran Air Force has achieved great progress over the last 43 years, adding that sanctions have been a blessing for Iran, allowing it to stand on its own two feet.
