On March 14, between 00:00 and 12:00 (GMT+4), 21 individuals were evacuated from Iran to Azerbaijan.

The evacuation was carried out through the Astara state border checkpoint, The Caspian Post reports, citing local media.

Among those evacuated were 13 citizens of India, 5 of Russia, and 3 of Tajikistan.

On February 28, the United States and Israel launched military operations against Iran, resulting in the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and several senior officials. Following this, Iran began striking targets in Israel as well as US and allied military bases located in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain, Iraq, and Cyprus.

As a result, many foreign nationals are being evacuated from Iran via Azerbaijani territory.
