As a reminder, on February 28, Israel and the United States began striking Iran. Donald Trump announced the start of a large-scale military operation.

164 Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant employees were evacuated from Iran through Armenia on March 27 and flown to Moscow. Since the escalation of the situation in the Middle East, 327 Russian citizens have been evacuated through Armenia. On April 4, it was reported that following a strike near the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant that killed a security guard, 198 Russians were sent toward Armenia.

On March 5, a drone strike on the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic injured four people. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev called the attack "a deliberate terrorist act by Iran." However, on March 8, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian assured Aliyev that Iran had nothing to do with the attack. Following this, Azerbaijani authorities lifted restrictions on the transport of goods across the border with Iran, and on March 10, 30 tons of humanitarian aid were sent from Baku to Iran.

The brief suspension of transport between Azerbaijan and Iran did not have time to lead to consequences, and the reason for lifting the restrictions was Baku's reluctance to exacerbate the conflict with its neighbor, Baku analysts noted.
