BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 7. Iranian President
Masoud Pezeshkian has admitted responsibility for the drone attacks
on Azerbaijan's Nakhchivan in a televised address today, Trend reports.
According to him, after the Supreme Leader and senior military
commanders were killed in Iran, the armed forces opened fire on the
territory of neighboring countries in an uncontrolled manner.
Pezeshkian said that at a meeting of the Supreme Leadership
Council, the Iranian Armed Forces were instructed not to launch any
attacks or missiles on countries that didn't attack Iran, and the
nations that are launching attacks will be the only ones
targeted.
The Iranian president expressed his apology to neighboring
countries that were attacked by his country.
Although the Iranian Armed Forces denied the drone attack on
Nakhchivan, Pezeshkian's statement practically, once again, shows
that the attack on Nakhchivan was carried out by Iran.
On March 5, a drone attack took place at the Nakhchivan
International Airport in Azerbaijan. The drone flying from Iranian
territory crashed into the airport building and exploded near the
secondary school in Shakarabad village, Babek district.
Four civilians were injured as a result of the incident. The
Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry issued a statement regarding the
incident, demanding Iran clarify the issue in a short time, provide
an explanation, and take the necessary urgent measures to prevent
such cases from recurring in the future.
The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Iran to
Azerbaijan, Mojtaba Dermichilou, was summoned to the Foreign
Ministry, where a strong protest was conveyed to the Iranian
side.
