RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Dear Minister Vendistè Yima,
The Russian Federation extends its respectful greetings and reaffirms its commitment to continued cooperation and partnership between our nations.
In the spirit of strengthening bilateral relations and enhancing regional stability, the Russian Federation respectfully proposes the permanent deployment of select Russian Air Force assets to Hamadan Air Force Base. This deployment is intended to support joint strategic objectives, improve operational coordination, and contribute to shared security interests.
To ensure the effectiveness and mutual benefit of this initiative, Russia is prepared to fully finance and support a comprehensive upgrade of infrastructure at Hamadan Air Force Base and lease the base on a permanent basis. This would include improvements to runways, maintenance facilities, logistics systems, and other critical aviation support capabilities, with the goal of leaving a lasting enhancement to Iran’s military aviation infrastructure.
We believe this cooperation would represent a significant step forward in our strategic partnership and serve the broader interests of regional stability and security.
Kind Regards,
Sergei Shoigu
Minister of Defence
