Iran says Azerbaijan denied letting Israel use its airspace in 12-day war
The Iranian presidency said Thursday that Azerbaijan has denied reports it allowed Israel to use its airspace to launch strikes during the 12-day war with Iran. The remarks came during a telephone call between President Masoud Pezeshkian and his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev, the president's office said. Israel launched a major bombing campaign on June 13 that targeted Iranian nuclear and military facilities and killed top scientists and commanders. A ceasefire between Iran and Israel took effect on Tuesday. Pezeshkian urged Azerbaijan to investigate reports that Israel had launched 'drone and microlight attacks into Iranian skies through the airspace of the Republic of Azerbaijan,' the presidency said. It added that Aliyev had denied the reports, saying 'the Azerbaijani government would not in any way allow its skies to be used against the friendly and brotherly country.' A readout of the telephone call from the Azerbaijani side did not mention that part of the discussion. A day after the start of the Iran-Israel war, Azerbaijan said it would not allow its territory to be used for attacks against Tehran. 'Azerbaijan will never allow its territory to be used for attacks on third countries, including friendly Iran,' Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov told his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi at the time. Tehran has previously expressed concern that Azerbaijani airspace could be used for an attack by Israel, a major arms supplier to Baku.

Israel or Iran... Who is Pakistan ally Azerbaijan a friend or foe of? Locked horns with both countries at once — Here's Why
New Delhi: In a major development, Pakistan's ally Azerbaijan has issued a warning to both Israel and Iran regarding the use of its airspace. According to the reports, Azerbaijan has cautioned that its territory must not be used in any way for attacks on a third party. Azerbaijan, on Saturday, assured neighboring Iran that it would not allow its territory to be used for attacks against Tehran. This comes after Israel launched deadly airstrikes on Iranian bases. Iran has long expressed concerns that Israel might use Azerbaijani land to carry out attacks. It is important to note that Israel is a close ally of Azerbaijan and a major arms supplier to the country. Azerbaijan's Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov told his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi, 'Azerbaijan will never allow its territory to be used for attacks against third countries, including friendly Iran.' According to Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry press service, Bayramov, during a phone call with Araghchi, warned that 'there is a risk of the conflict expanding to a broader region' and called for 'diplomatic efforts to prevent further escalation.' The ministry also stated that Azerbaijan had facilitated overland transit across its borders after Iran closed its airspace in response to Israeli attacks. Azerbaijan-Israel Relation: Based on shared interests and extensive military cooperation, Israel and Azerbaijan have maintained strategic relations for decades. It is important to note that Azerbaijan is a major supplier of oil to Israel, while it acquires advanced Israeli weapons—drones, air defense systems, and cutting-edge defense technologies. Relations deepened further after the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, during which Israeli weapons played a decisive role in Azerbaijan's battlefield success. Both countries also share concerns over Iran's regional ambitions and its nuclear program. Azerbaijan is a neighbor of Iran: Azerbaijan shares a long border with Iran. It also hosts a significant ethnic Azerbaijani population within Iran's borders. Not only that, tensions between Azerbaijan and Iran also exist over Armenia. For the past few years, Azerbaijan has been trying to take control of the Zangezur Corridor, which lies within Armenian territory. Azerbaijan and Turkey support this corridor, while Armenia wants to retain its control over it.

Azerbaijan: Airspace off-limits for attacks on Iran
Shafaq News/ On Saturday, Azerbaijan's Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov affirmed that Baku will not permit its territory or airspace to be used for military operations against Iran or any other nation. His remarks came during a phone call with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, who asserted that Tehran's missile retaliation to Israeli strikes was a sovereign act of self-defense. Iran has previously accused Israel of using Azerbaijani airspace for surveillance or operations, a claim Baku has repeatedly denied. Araghchi described the Israeli air campaign as a 'threat to international security,' warning of further 'decisive' responses, and argued that targeting nuclear sites crossed 'all red lines", urging global condemnation of the assault. Iran's missile strikes followed Israel's launch of Operation Rising Lion, which targeted Iranian nuclear and military infrastructure, including facilities in Natanz, Fordow, and Tehran. In response, Iran initiated 'Operation True Promise 3,' launching hundreds of ballistic missiles at Israel.
