The Russian ambassador to Iran says Russia�s Aerospace Forces may resume operations against terrorists in Syria from an Iranian airbase upon a decision by the two countries� officials.

�Moscow sees no obstacles to further use of Iranian infrastructure, including the airbase in Hamedan, for strikes against terrorists in Syria,� �Levan Dzhagaryan said on Monday, Interfax reported.

�Interaction with Tehran on Syria has positive perspective,� The Russian ambassador added.

The diplomat�s remarks came after both Iran and Russia confirmed on Monday that Russian jets have ended using the Nojeh airbase near�the western Iranian city of Hamedan for conducting airstrikes against terrorists in Syria.

�All Russian military currently left Iran�s Hamedan airbase,� Dzhagaryan said.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi also confirmed the halt and told reporters on Monday that Russia has stopped using the Iranian airbase for strikes in Syria.
�Russia neither has�a base in Iran nor is it stationed [there]. It was a mission which has been conducted�and concluded�for now,� Qasemi said in a presser.
Dzhagaryan further expressed hope that Iran and Russia would strengthen cooperation to help find a solution to the Syrian crisis.

Meanwhile, an informed source in Tehran told Interfax that the use of the Iranian airbase in Hamedan was ended based on a �Russia�s decision.�

The source added that Iran would continue providing Russia with further military infrastructure, not only the base in Hamadan, to fight terrorists in Syria.

In a statement on August 16, Russian Defense Ministry said the country�s warplanes had�taken off from an airbase in the western Iranian city of Hamedan to target Daesh Takfiri terrorists and other militants in Syria.

"On August 16, Tu-22M3 long-range bombers and Su-34 frontline bombers, flying with a full bomb load from the Hamedan air base, conducted a group air strike against targets� of Daesh and Jabhat Fath al-Sham terrorists in the Syrian provinces of Aleppo, Dayr al-Zawr and Idlib, the Russian ministry said.

According to the statement, the attacks destroyed a number of training camps, command centers, and large arms and fuel depots belonging to the militant groups near the village of Jafra and the city of Dayr al-Zawr, adding that a large number of militants were killed in the air raids.

Iran and Russia are Syria�s main allies and have been assisting the government in Damascus in its fight against foreign-backed terrorist groups, including the Daesh Takfiri terrorists.

Since September 30, 2015, Russia has been conducting airstrikes against Daesh and other terrorist groups in Syria at the Syrian government�s request.

Iran has also been providing advisory assistance to the Syrian government.

Syria has been gripped by a foreign-backed militancy since March 2011. UN special envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura estimates that over 400,000 people have been killed in the conflict.
