Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian tells his Azerbaijani counterpart, Ilham Aliyev, that Tehran was not responsible for drone incursions into Azerbaijan, but pledges to investigate the incident, Aliyev’s office says.
“Noting that the incident involving (an) airstrike on Nakhchivan had no connection with Iran, President Masoud Pezeshkian emphasized that the incident would be investigated,” the statement says.
Azerbaijani authorities said four Iranian drones had crossed its border and injured four people in the Nakhchivan exclave Thursday.
