On June 27, 2025, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev received the credentials of incoming ambassadors from Poland, Sudan, and Iran. The newly appointed Iranian ambassador to Baku, Mojtaba Damirchilou, affirmed Iran's confidence that Azerbaijani territory would not be used against Iran, expecting Azerbaijan to prevent such actions. President Aliyev highlighted Azerbaijan's early condemnation of the Iran-Israel conflict escalation and expressed condolences for the Iranian casualties. Subsequently, tensions involving Iranian diplomats continued in the region. On June 30, 2025, Iran’s ambassador to Armenia, Mehdi Sobhani, abruptly left a press conference after confronting U.S.-funded media representatives, accusing them of being agents of hostile forces. He only returned after the U.S. government-owned Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty journalists exited the room. Additionally, reports indicated increasing pressure on Azerbaijanis living in Russia and critical commentary on Armenia's political situation emerged.
