Will a war break out between Iran and Azerbaijan?

The Caucasus region has recently witnessed an escalation in military tensions, with both Azerbaijan and Iran conducting large-scale military exercises.

This escalation follows a history of tension between the two countries, which intensified after the Nagorno-Karabakh War in 2020.

The Azerbaijani Ministry of Defense announced the implementation of intensive air defense exercises, including the activation of advanced air defense systems such as the long-range S-300 system, in response to Iranian naval exercises conducted near the shared border between the two countries.

This exchange of military maneuvers comes at a time when relations between the two countries are notably deteriorating, reflecting a state of mutual military readiness.
