BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 8. Iran's security agencies, contrary to some rumors, haven't confirmed any signs of its cooperation with some neighboring countries during Israel's military airstrikes on Iran, President of Iran Masoud Pezeshkian said at a meeting of the local council in the northern Iranian Gilan Province on July 7, Trend reports.
According to him, some neighboring countries have thrown their hats in the ring, announcing their willingness to send essential products to Iran.
Earlier, Iranian Ambassador to Armenia Mehdi Sobhani made a claim that the territorial expanse of Azerbaijan was leveraged in operations against Iran, specifically through the deployment of Israeli unmanned aerial vehicles executing strikes originating from Azerbaijani soil.
Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry categorically rejected these
baseless and provocative claims. The ministry said that these
claims undermine the relations between Azerbaijan and Iran that are
based on mutual respect for each other's territorial integrity and
sovereignty and non-interference in domestic affairs.
Azerbaijan categorically refutes allegations that its airspace or
territory was used by any state to conduct military operations
against the neighboring Islamic Republic of Iran or any other
country. Such claims are baseless and lack any credible
evidence.
