Nakhchivan: Iran has carried out drone strikes on Nakhchivan, APA reports. An Iranian drone struck Nakhchivan Airport, where one of the drones hit one of the airport terminals, while several others fell in different locations. Another drone landed near a school in the city of Nakhchivan.
According to Azeri-Press News Agency, since the beginning of the conflict, Azerbaijan has remained committed to its policy of neighborly relations with Iran. Azerbaijan's Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov reached out to Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, reiterating statements made by Supreme Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev that Azerbaijan's territory will not be used against any neighboring or friendly state, including Iran.
President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev was also among the few world leaders who expressed condolences to Iran over the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei. The President personally visited the Iranian Embassy in Azerbaijan to offer his condolences and support.
In addition, Azerbaijan has facilitated the passage through its border crossing with Iran, aiding the evacuation of foreign citizens from Iran and the return of Iranian citizens to their own country. Despite these gestures, the Iranian regime included the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, an integral part of Azerbaijan, among its targets and executed drone strikes on the city and its airport.
This incident highlights the hostility and ingratitude of the Iranian regime, revealing its disregard for principles of neighborly relations and international law. The regime's actions not only undermine goodwill and friendship but also demonstrate a blatant disrespect for the sovereignty of states.
