He also acknowledged the historical and cultural bonds between the two nations, affirming Iran’s intent to deepen military cooperation.
General Sobirzoda, for his part, extended condolences over the martyrdom of Lieutenant General Mohammad Bagheri and other Iranian commanders and civilians during the Israeli and US aggression, describing their deaths as a great loss for both nations.
He also reaffirmed the brotherly ties between Iran and Tajikistan, based on shared cultural, linguistic, and historical roots.
