🔹 Azerbaijan accuses Iran of attack near Nakhchivan as diplomatic confrontation escalates: Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev: "A terrorist act has been carried out against Azerbaijan by Iran. This is not the first time that the Iranian state has carried out terrorist acts against Azerbaijan and Azerbaijanis. Azerbaijan will not tolerate this unjustified terrorist act. Iranian officials must provide an explanation and issue an apology to Azerbaijan".
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev: "Azerbaijan is not participating and will not participate in operations against Iran".
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev: "Our Armed Forces — the Defense Ministry, the State Border Service (DSX), and all other special-purpose forces — have been placed on the highest level of mobilization and they must be ready to carry out any operation".
The Iranian General Staff (Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters) has denied launching drones toward Azerbaijan, claiming that Israel was behind the attack.
Azerbaijani Defense Ministry: "Iran's denial of today's attack against Azerbaijan is unacceptable. We expect the Iranian Armed Forces to stop this blatant denial, apologize for the incident, and ensure that those responsible are punished by the relevant Iranian authorities".
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqhchi during a phone call with his Azerbaijani counterpart Jeyhun Bayramov: "I deny that any projectile was fired toward Azerbaijan. The Iranian Armed Forces are conducting the necessary investigations and examinations in this regard. The attack could have been carried out by Israel to damage relations between the two countries".
After holding a phone call with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqhchi, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov also received a phone call from Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar.
During the call, Saar said: "We condemn Iran's attack on Azerbaijan. The attack was deliberately carried out by Iran and is completely unacceptable".
Azerbaijan has closed its southern airspace near Iran for 12 hours.
🔹 Aliyev describes Iranian outreach to evacuate diplomats and condemns Nakhchivan strike: Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev: "This morning I was informed that the Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister called Baku requesting Azerbaijan's help to evacuate the employees of the Iranian Embassy who remained in Lebanon, because they do not have the capability. I immediately gave instructions to provide assistance and send a plane. They even said they were ready to pay for it, but I said it was not necessary. Yet in return for all this, striking Nakhchivan in such a dirty, cowardly and unmanly way — this stain will never be erased from their dirty and ugly face".
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev: "Media outlets controlled by Iranian state bodies conducted a dirty slander campaign against Azerbaijan in order to smear our country and influence the views of our compatriots living in Iran. They know very well that today the independent state of Azerbaijan is a source of hope for many Azerbaijanis living in Iran".
