Iran is ramping up its efforts to export military equipment and training to its allies in the Middle East and across the globe, a top Iranian general said.

"Introducing the Islamic Republic’s defense and military capabilities and sharing them [with friendly countries] can expand the country’s defense relations and strengthen deterrence," Baqeri said at a Wednesday press conference, according to Iranian state-run Press TV.
