Iran Conducts Suicide Drone Strikes on Azerbaijan's Nakhchivan Region Amid Regional Tensions

Iran launched suicide drone strikes on Azerbaijan's Nakhchivan exclave, hitting the international airport and a nearby school, causing property damage and injuring two civilians. Azerbaijan condemned the attacks as violations of international law and reserved the right to respond. While Azerbaijan is not directly involved in the Iran-US-Israel conflict and hosts no US troops, concerns have arisen about the region's geopolitical implications, including India's worries over Azerbaijan's emerging role as a base for Khalistan-related activities supported by Pakistan-linked groups.
