The statement by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran that Iran respects the sovereignty of all countries, especially Muslim and neighboring countries, and its denial of today’s attacks carried out by Iran against Azerbaijan with unmanned aerial vehicles in this regard, cannot be considered acceptable under any circumstances.
This was reported to elchi by the Ministry of Defense.
According to the information, it was detected by technical means that four unmanned aerial vehicles were directed by the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran to carry out attack acts towards Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan region. One of them was neutralized by the Azerbaijani army, while the others targeted civilian infrastructure, including a secondary school building during school hours. Fortunately, the unmanned aerial vehicle targeting the secondary school building did not reach its target, crashing and exploding near the school.
“Considering the above, we expect the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran to put an end to blatant denial, to express an apology for the incident, and for the perpetrators to be punished by the relevant Iranian authorities,” the statement noted.
