Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi held a phone conversation with Azerbaijan’s Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov, Tasnim reports.

“The Iranian foreign minister, emphasizing the Islamic Republic of Iran’s policy of good neighborliness toward this country, stated that Iran seeks to expand relations with the Republic of Azerbaijan in all areas.

Araghchi, referring to today’s explosions in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, denied that any projectiles had been launched toward the republic from Iran and noted that the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran are conducting the necessary checks and investigation into the matter.

Araghchi particularly pointed to the role of the Israeli regime in such attacks aimed at diverting public attention and undermining Iran’s good-neighborly relations with its neighbors, adding that other similar incidents have also been observed in recent days.

The Iranian foreign minister expressed regret over the injuries of several citizens of the Republic of Azerbaijan as a result of the incident and wished them a speedy recovery,” the Iranian media outlet said.
