Iran`s FM warns Azerbaijan

ArmInfo. Any country that provides its territory to the United States and Israel will become a legitimate target for Iran. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated this in a telephone conversation with his Azerbaijani  counterpart, Jeyhun Bayramov, according to Pars Today.

"According to international law, no country has the right to provide  its territory and resources for aggressive actions by other states.  Iran's defensive measures are aimed exclusively against aggressors,  as well as against bases and facilities used to attack Iran," he  noted.

On March 5, Azerbaijan announced that four Iranian drones had  attacked Nakhchivan. In this regard, the Iranian ambassador was  summoned to the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry. Moreover, on the same  day, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev convened a meeting of the  country's Security Council and decided to rattle his sabre in front  of Iran. As usual, Aliyev threatened Azerbaijan with an "iron fist,"  labeled the incident terrorism, and promised a proportionate  response. Furthermore, Azerbaijan temporarily closed its border with  Iran, suspended checkpoints with Iran, and withdrew its diplomatic  personnel from the country.  Interestingly, all of these actions  occurred after Iran, at the level of its Foreign Ministry and General  Staff, denied any involvement in the attack on Nakhchivan airport.  However, independent experts are inclined to believe that Azerbaijan  is thus preparing the ground for possible involvement in the conflict  against Iran on the side of the United States and Israel.
