AI Summary

medium article 3 min

Azerbaijan has accused Iran of a "terrorist" drone attack on an airport in Nakhchivan, an Azerbaijani exclave bordering Iran, which allegedly injured four civilians. Azerbaijan's president, Ilham Aliyev, has demanded an apology and accountability from Iran, threatening response measures. Iran has denied any involvement in the attack, stating they do not target neighboring countries. The alleged strike is the first Iranian attack on a Caucasus state since the start of the US-Israel war. The incident raises concerns about escalating conflict in the region, particularly given Azerbaijan's growing ties with Israel and its neutral stance in the Middle East.
