Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has requested an investigation into reports that Israeli drones and micro-aircraft may have violated Iranian airspace by entering through Azerbaijani territory during a recent 12-day conflict between Iran and Israel. In a phone call with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev on June 26, 2025, Pezeshkian emphasized the need to verify these allegations. Azerbaijan has categorically denied allowing its airspace to be used for military operations against Iran, with Aliyev stating that his government would not permit such actions. The Iranian presidency has conveyed that Tehran provided evidence to Baku suggesting Israeli jets used Azerbaijani airspace in attacks on Iran, though Baku rejected these claims.

Iran’s ambassador to Armenia, Mehdi Sobhani, confirmed that Tehran is conducting investigations into the possible use of Azerbaijani airspace by Israeli drones during the conflict. Former Iranian ambassador to Azerbaijan Mohsen Pak Ayeen also noted that Israeli drones launched from Azerbaijan conducted unauthorized espionage against Iran during the Nagorno-Karabakh war, with Iran having shot down one drone in response. The allegations have heightened political and media tensions between Tehran and Baku. Azerbaijani officials have dismissed accusations of complicity as unfounded. The issue remains under investigation with both sides maintaining their positions.
