This is good news. Tajik are Farsi speaking and like Afghans were part of the Persian Empire and still very close to Iranians culturally, linguistically and in religion. Iran's military ties will help stability in the region and also offer training to the Tajiks in Farsi which is much easier than any other foreign military involvement in the region. Excellent soft power projection by Iran in a friendly neighboring Islamic nation.
