The territory of Azerbaijan has been attacked from Iran. There are casualties…
This is not an accident, as the target was the airport. The drones could not have accidentally flown into Azerbaijan from the northern direction, since the theater of military operations is located in the south…
Azerbaijan, both during the 12-day war and afterwards, as well as since the beginning of the war in Iran, has adhered to the position voiced at all official levels — the territory and airspace of Azerbaijan cannot be used against Iran.
After the death of Khamenei, the President of Azerbaijan expressed condolences to the President of Iran and visited the Iranian embassy in Baku. Can the leadership of Iran show anything similar in relation to other states?
And in response — drones targeting civilian infrastructure. Once again, Azerbaijan is confronted with the black ingratitude of the Iranian leadership.
During the current war, Iran has been striking countries where U.S. military bases are located, from which the United States carries out attacks against Iran. There are no U.S. or Israeli military bases in Azerbaijan.
Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has already summoned the Iranian ambassador in Baku to deliver a note of protest and demand explanations.
However, there is currently complete chaos in Iran’s system of governance. It is unclear how and by whom decisions to launch such strikes are being made.
Azerbaijan will most likely begin consultations with Türkiye in accordance with the Shusha Declaration and will take measures exclusively for its own defense.
Arab countries that have faced Iranian attacks have so far not taken retaliatory action. The same approach was taken by Türkiye after an Iranian missile was shot down in Turkish airspace.
One must remain patient and calm, no matter how difficult it may be…
As practice shows, Azerbaijan is capable of withstanding a blow and responding at the right moment. Azerbaijan is not an Arab country; millions of Azerbaijani Turks live in Iran, and they are already asking how well their government can ensure their security from strikes by the United States and Israel — and soon possibly from Kurdish armed groups as well.
