The South Caucasus holds strategic political, economic, and geopolitical significance in the region and any instability or misinformation in the region could impact the neighbours' relations.
The big picture:
Tensions in the South Caucasus, particularly involving Armenia, Azerbaijan, and their foreign backers, have drawn regional powers like Iran and Russia into a complex geopolitical chessboard. Iran has repeatedly signaled its interest in preserving regional stability and opposing any foreign interference or border changes that could undermine its strategic interests.
