Iran has denied the allegation of a drone attack in Azerbaijan, calling it an ‘Israeli conspiracy.
According to the Media sources, Iran has said that such
actions are aimed at damaging relations between Muslim countries.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi denied in a telephone
conversation with his Azerbaijani counterpart Jehon Bayramov that Iran had
fired any projectiles at Azerbaijan. He condemned the attack, saying that ‘the
Israeli government has a role in such attacks, which are aimed at misleading
public opinion and damaging Iran’s good relations with its neighboring
countries.’
Iran’s statement came after Azerbaijani President Ilham
Aliyev accused Iran of ‘terrorism’ on Thursday and threatened retaliation.
Earlier, four people were injured in drone attacks in the
Nakhchivan region of Azerbaijan. The incident has raised fears of a further
escalation in the ongoing Middle East war.
According to officials, at least four drones were used in
the attack, which entered from Iran. The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry said the
military destroyed one drone while others were trying to target civilian
facilities.
