Iran Offers to Share Combat Experience Against US with Allies

Iran is signaling a strategic shift by offering to share its combat experiences, particularly those gained from confrontations with the United States, with its allies. This move, articulated by Deputy Defense Minister Reza Talaei Nik during the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) defense ministers' meeting in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, underscores Iran's intent to solidify its position within the anti-Western bloc.

By extending this offer, Iran seeks to leverage its military encounters with the US as a diplomatic and security asset. The deputy minister explicitly stated Iran's readiness to "transfer the experience of repelling the United States" to other SCO member states. This positions Iran not just as a member, but as a potential military advisor and partner for nations seeking to counter perceived US influence and policies.

Iran is ready to share its experience of repelling the United States with other member states.

The SCO, which includes major powers like Russia and China alongside Central Asian nations, is increasingly viewed as a platform for challenging the Western-dominated international order. Iran's full membership since 2023 has amplified its efforts to utilize the organization as a counterweight. The proposal to share military tactics, including drone and missile warfare, and naval strategies, suggests a broader ambition to foster military cooperation within the SCO, thereby strengthening a non-Western axis against what Iran describes as "state terrorism" by the US and Israel.

The experience of Iran's nation and army in confronting the United States has clearly shown the world that the United States is no longer in a position to impose its policies on independent countries.
