Commenting on the recent tensions between Iran and Azerbaijan, Nasser Kanaani said at a press conference on Monday, "Our principle in bilateral relations with neighbors, particularly the Republic of Azerbaijan, is mutual respect, deepening relations, and bilateral cooperation."

Regarding the "positive signals" that Iran has recently received from Azerbaijani officials within the framework of bilateral negotiations, the spokesperson remarked, "We hope that necessary steps will be taken in proportion to this positive discourse during bilateral negotiations."
