Iran is prepared to offer its defensive weapon capabilities to "independent countries, especially those in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO)," said Deputy Defence Minister Reza Talaei-Nik on Tuesday, according to Iranian state media.

Iran fought a war with the ​United States and Israel from late February ⁠to early April, during which it ​launched waves of drones and missiles ​aimed at U.S. bases across the region as well as Israeli sites, while also intermittently shooting down ​U.S. aerial targets over its airspace, ​primarily drones, The Caspian Post reports, citing foreign media.

"We are ready to share the experiences of ‌America's ⁠defeat with other members of the organisation," Talaei-Nik said during a meeting of SCO defence ministers held in the ​Kyrgyz capital.

​The Iranian ⁠official recently held talks with Russian and Belarusian defence personnel, with ​Moscow and Minsk stressing their ​will ⁠to continue cooperation with Tehran.

The war is on hold following a ceasefire announced earlier ⁠this ​month, but efforts to ​resolve the two-month conflict have stalled.
