Armenia-Azerbaijan deal: Khamenei aide says Iran will oppose peace corridor near its border

Iran vehemently opposes the US-brokered peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, specifically the creation of the ‘Trump Route’ transit corridor. Tehran views the corridor as a threat to regional stability, fearing it will sever Iran’s connection to Armenia and allow foreign presence along its border. Iran has warned of potential intervention and has conducted military drills to demonstrate its resolve.
