US Department of State on Iran's provocation on border with Azerbaijan

The US Department of State has commented on the provocative flight of an Iranian fighter jet along the Azerbaijani-Iranian state border.

According to Report, the issue was raised during the briefing of US State Department Spokesman Ned Price.

He said Iran has long been a malign actor in the region.

"It’s engaged in malign activities, activities that threaten its neighbors both near and far. So we watch these types of tensions with concern," Price said.

According to him, the approach of the State Department is to invest in engagement with Azerbaijan and with Armenia to create a more stable South Caucasus region.
