Azerbaijan says it will never allow its territory to be used against a third country, including neighboring and friendly Iran.
Azerbaijan's Minister of Foreign Affairs Jeyhun Bayramov made the remark in a phone call with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Saturday following the Israeli regime’s aggression against Iran.
He expressed concern over the escalation of the situation in the region and extended his condolences over the martyrdom of a number of Iranian civilians and military commanders, particularly Major General Mohammad Baqeri, Chief of Staff of Iran's Armed Forces.
He stressed the importance of resolving the existing issues only through dialogue and diplomatic means in accordance with the norms and principles of international law.
The Tel Aviv regime, backed by the United States, carried out a large-scale military aggression on multiple locations inside Iran in the early hours of Friday, targeting nuclear facilities, military infrastructure, and residential buildings in Tehran and other cities.
After targeting the headquarters of the Armed Forces, the regime resorted to extensive terrorist attacks on residential buildings, resulting in many civilian casualties, including women and children.
In a crushing response, code-named Operation True Promise III, Iran fired hundreds of missiles at multiple locations across the occupied Palestinian territories, causing extensive damage and casualties.
Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi, a senior advisor to the chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), said on Saturday that at least 150 targets were struck during the retaliatory operation against the Israeli regime, including several critically strategic military bases.
