The US will support Azerbaijan in case of a threat from Iran

The spokesperson of the US State Department, Ned Price, during a regular briefing, referred to the processes taking place between Iran and Azerbaijan and the rhetoric of the statements.

In particular, to the question that there is increasing rhetoric from Iran towards neighboring countries, they threaten Azerbaijan, accusing it of carrying out terrorism on the territory of Iran, will the United States be able to protect that country if Iran continues its rhetoric against them, Price said.

"Secretary of State Blinken had the opportunity to see his Azerbaijani counterpart at the beginning of this week. It was clear to us that Iran is a threat to the region. We will continue to stand by our partners, support them and ultimately counter the destabilizing influence that Iran represents both in the region and beyond."
