By Mehdi Sepahvand - Trend:

Iran and Russia have been brainstorming the military developments in Iraq and Syria in joint operation rooms in Baghdad and Syria that were established one year ago, Chairman of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi said.

“We were facing a joint undertaking regarding regional equations, especially over the developments in Syria, which also had political aspects,” the MP said, Tasnim news agency reported August 24.

The recent fuelling of Russian bombers in Iran was also carried out within the framework of the decisions of the joint operations room and was the result of consensus among Baghdad, Tehran, Moscow, and Damascus, he stated.

The MP said that no other airbase than the Nojeh is considered to accommodate Russian military aircraft.

On August 16, it was announced that Iran had accommodated Russian bombers at one of its western air bases to help Russia’s air raids on Syrian terrorists.

Iran and Russia back President Bashar al-Assad against armed groups now engaged in the Syrian conflict. The two countries were recently joined by Turkey which had previously held contrary positions over the crisis.

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said August 24 that Turkey will "fully support" operations against IS positions in Jarabulus, Syria as Turkish forces were carrying out operations in the area.
