Defense Minister Lieutenant General Hossein Dehqan said on Monday Iran will continue to dispatch military advisers to Syria and Iraq. "We will help Syria and Iraq as much as we can because parts of the Islamic community have been under attack and we are defending [them]," Tasnim News Agency quoted Dehqan as saying. The minister added that Iran deploys military advisers to these countries to defend Muslim countries as "Islam and Muslim nations are important to us."
