Iran widens regional war with first strike into Azerbaijan
This affects the entire country.
Iran spread the growing regional war to the Caucasus with its first drone strike into Azerbaijan, hitting an airport terminal and damaging a nearby school.
A video recorded by someone at Nakhchivan International Airport showed one of the drones exploding on impact, with another video showing smoke rising from the terminal. The strike makes Azerbaijan the 12th country Iran has targeted with drones and missiles since Feb. 28. Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry denounced the attack, saying it attacked civilian infrastructure with no military purpose and wounded two civilians.

Numerous countries and international bodies came forward to condemn the attack, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Kuwait, themselves the targets of Iranian drone strikes in the ongoing conflict.
A popular IRGC Telegram channel, with over 500,000 followers, claimed IRGC credit for the strike, claiming it hit a section of the airport where “Zionist regime” and U.S. officers were planning attacks on Iran. It also identified the drone not as the popular Shahed kamikaze drone, but the larger and more advanced Arash-2 drone.
“The drone that was at the Nakhchivan Airport, specifically in a section where Zionist regime and American officers were planning and managing attacks on our country’s infrastructure, was crushed by an Arash-2 drone. The enemy sees this for themselves and must know that Iran does not joke or compromise with any party. With a 120 kg warhead and very high destructive power, it is utilized by the …
