Azerbaijan has delivered a large-scale humanitarian aid convoy to Iran, totaling over 82 tons, as tensions continue to rise across the Middle East.
The shipment, which crossed the Astara border, includes essential food supplies, medical aid, and equipment, along with symbolic items marking the Nowruz festival. This marks the second round of assistance from Azerbaijan, following an earlier delivery earlier this month.
The move comes shortly after a period of heightened tension between the two countries, triggered by a security incident that led to temporary border closures. Subsequent diplomatic engagement between leadership appears to have eased immediate friction, allowing humanitarian cooperation to resume.
Reports also indicate a growing number of civilians crossing into Azerbaijan, suggesting broader concerns over safety in affected areas.
The development signals a strategic effort to stabilize relations and prevent tensions from spilling into the wider Caucasus region.$DEXE
