Aliyev  evacuating diplomatic mission from Iran

ArmInfo. Azerbaijani authorities have instructed to evacuate  personnel  from Iran. The process  applies to both  embassy in Tehran and the consulate in Tabriz.

Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov announced at a joint  press conference in Baku with Moldovan Deputy Prime Minister and  Foreign Minister Mihai Pop?oi that President Ilham Aliyev has ordered  the complete evacuation of diplomatic personnel from Iran.

He added that Baku will also await the results of the Iranian  investigation into the drone attacks, and further steps and decisions  will be taken depending on its findings.

On March 5, Azerbaijan announced that four Iranian drones had struck  Nakhchivan. In response, the Iranian ambassador was summoned to the  Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry. Moreover, on the same day, Azerbaijani  President Ilham Aliyev convened the country's Security Council . As  usual, Aliyev threatened Azerbaijan with an "iron fist," labeling the  incident terrorism, and promised a proportionate response.   Furthermore, Azerbaijan closed its border with Iran and suspended  checkpoints with Iran. Iran, through its Foreign Ministry and General  Staff, denied any involvement in the attack on the Nakhchivan  airport.  However, independent experts 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.
