Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev accused Iran of “terrorism” and threatened retaliation after drone attacks Thursday wounded four people — an incident that could drag yet another country into the Middle East war. Tehran denied the allegation and blamed Israel, Azerbaijan’s ally, of trying to stage a provocation. The midday attacks involved at least four drones that crossed from Iran into Azerbaijan’s exclave of Nakhichevan bordering Iran, Baku said. “Today a terrorist act was carried out from the Iranian side against the territory of Azerbaijan,” Aliyev told a hastily convened security council meeting. Azerbaijan’s military “have been instructed to prepare and carry out retaliatory measures … placed on mobilization level number one, and must be ready to conduct any operation,” he said.
