Baku: Another humanitarian aid shipment was dispatched from Azerbaijan to Iran on March 18, 2026, to address the immediate needs of the Iranian population. This initiative followed a telephone conversation on March 8, 2026, between Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev and Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian.

According to Azeri-Press News Agency, the aid shipment to Iran comprises 82 tons of essential supplies. The consignment includes 76 tons of food products, 4 tons of medicines, and 2 tons of medical supplies. The delivery is being facilitated by five cargo trucks (TIRs).
