Ukrainian intelligence reports that Iran is turning to Belarus for assistance in repairing its defense systems, which were damaged during a recent conflict with Israel. According to the statement, Belarus's President Alexander Lukashenko and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian met in Minsk, officially to discuss economic cooperation.

Belarus, facing fewer military-technical restrictions than Russia, could become a key partner for Iran in rebuilding its defenses.
