In response to ongoing military operations by the United States and Israel, Iran has intensified its aggressions on regional US and Israeli facilities as reported on the 5th. The fallout from Iran's interventions has now spread to Azerbaijan in the Caucasus, raising concerns about regional instability. Azerbaijan's foreign ministry condemned drone attacks launched from Iranian territory, which resulted in damage to an airport and injuries to civilians, emphasizing the violation of international law and the necessity for urgent explanations from Iran to prevent further incidents.

To avoid escalation, diplomatic communications took place between the foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Iran. Azerbaijan's Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov reported that both sides engaged in discussions, with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi expressing concern over the drone attacks and announcing an investigation. Bayramov demanded a swift apology from Iran and clear explanations of the investigation results regarding the drone attacks.

Simultaneously, as the Iranian strikes were unfolding, Israeli cities including Tel Aviv experienced continuous air raid sirens, leading to widespread movement of civilians between homes and shelters. In the United Arab Emirates, debris from intercepted Iranian drones injured six individuals near an airbase and sparked a fire in an oil industrial zone, according to reports from UAE authorities and regional news outlets. This escalation indicates a significant increase in hostilities in the region, posing further risks for regional stability and international diplomatic relations.
