Azerbaijan Sends Olive Branch to Iran After Drone Attack

Azerbaijan sent humanitarian aid to Iran, offering an olive branch days after the Iranian drone attack that sparked fears of escalation of the conflict in the Caucasus. The move comes after a phone call between the presidents of the two countries, where the Iranian president pledged to investigate the attack. Azerbaijan had accused Iran of “terrorism” after the drone attack on an airport and near a school, and had put its armed forces on high alert. Tehran denies responsibility for the attack and accuses Israel of staging it. The aid shipment signals an attempt to de-escalate the crisis.
