       Why Has Iran Targeted Azerbaijan With Its Drones?

       Unlike the Gulf states and Iraq's Kurdistan Region, Azerbaijan
       is not known to host any US bases, raising the question of why
       it was attacked.
       Iran has not given a reason for launching drones at an airport
       in the autonomous Nakhchivan region, but one answer might lie in
       the fact that Azerbaijan, on Iran’s north-west border, is a
       close strategic partner of Israel and the US.
       Relations between Azerbaijan - a secular but Shia
       Muslim-majority country - and Israel have deepened since the
       2000s: Azerbaijan is a major buyer of Israeli weapons, Israel
       imports significant amounts of Azeri oil, and the two countries
       are believed to co-operate closely on intelligence, particularly
       with regard to surveilling Iran.
       Iran has long accused Azerbaijan of allowing Mossad, Israel’s
       intelligence agency, to operate on its territory, including
       helping Mossad agents kill Iranian nuclear scientists – a charge
       Azerbaijan has strongly denied.
