Iran’s Defense Minister Brigadier General Hossein Dehghan said that purchase of Russian-made Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jets is on the agenda, Tasnim news agency reported Nov. 26.
Dehghan further said that Iran certainly will negotiate with any country, excluding the US and Israel, to meet its defense demands.

Moscow and Tehran have been discussing the deliveries of the Su-30 aircraft for quite a long time. In February, a high-ranking official in the Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation said that the contract of for the delivery of Russian Su-30SM fighters could be signed in 2016, but so far the parties are only negotiating the issue.
Dehghan further touched upon the reports about possibility of Russian bombers’ reusing the Nojeh Airbase in Iran’s western province of Hamadan, saying Iran is cooperating with friendly countries, including Russia to support Syria’s legal government.
If this support needs the reuse of the base, Iran will agree, he said.

On August 16, Russian bombers used Iran’s Nojeh to launch attacks on terrorist positions in Syria. A day later Russian sources said the operation killed 150 terrorists.
Some Iranian politicians’ raised concerns on the issue, saying the move is against the Islamic Republic’s constitution.

Senior Russian diplomats later confirmed that Moscow has stopped using Iran's Hamadan airbase for the time being, but may resume operations from there any time soon.
Iran has been sending military advisors to Syria to help the country’s military forces in the fight against terrorists through their know-how and consultations.

Iranian Defense Minister said that Defense Ministry is considering purchase of the Russian Sukhoi Su-30 multirole fighter jets.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The Iranian Defense Ministry is considering purchase of the Russian Sukhoi Su-30 multirole fighter jets, Iranian Defense Minister Hossein Dehghan said Saturday.

"The purchase of Su-30 fighters is on the agenda of the defense ministry," Dehghan said, as quoted by the Tasnim news agency.

Moscow and Tehran have been discussing the deliveries of the Su-30 aircraft for quite a long time. In February, a high-ranking official in the Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation told RIA Novosti that the contract of for the delivery of Russian Su-30SM fighters could be signed in 2016, but so far the parties are only discussing the issue in negotiations.

The two countries stepped up their military cooperation last year after Iran reached a deal with six world powers to scale back its nuclear research in exchange for an easing of sanctions against it. The agreement took softened the UN arms embargo, allowing weapons to be sold to Iran provided they are reviewed by the United Nations on a case-by-case basis. At the same time, Washington had opposed the sale of Russia's fighter jets to Iran.
