In a dramatic diplomatic maneuver, about 500 Russian nationals are preparing for evacuation from Iran through Azerbaijan this week. The Russian embassy in Baku confirmed the operation on Sunday, praising Azerbaijan's swift coordination to enable border crossings. 🛂
"We deeply appreciate our Azerbaijani partners' efficiency in resolving logistical challenges," the embassy stated on Telegram, amid rising Middle East tensions following recent military actions by Israel and the U.S.
The evacuation comes as Moscow urges its citizens in high-risk zones to either relocate to safer areas or leave Iran and Israel entirely. While details remain scarce, the operation highlights growing global security concerns in 2026 – a year that's already seen multiple international crises unfold. 🔥
