Commenting on the joint military exercise among the SCO members that was held in Iran last week, Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi said Iran shared its field experience with the SCO member states during the Sahand 2025 war game.
The synergy among the Shanghai Cooperation Organization members constituted “an independent and strong power against the Western hegemonic system,” he stated.
The general added that Iran’s active participation in this mechanism demonstrated that the country, after the 12-day war, has not become weakened or isolated but is instead present “more firmly than before” in key and strategic arenas.
A strong Iran would continue on the path of even greater power, he stressed.
Shekarchi also unveiled plans for Iran to host the Shanghai international conference on psychological, media, and cognitive operations next year.
