(Worthy News) – Tensions between Iran and Azerbaijan have been on the rise in recent weeks.

The relationship between the two countries started souring in August, when Azeri forces reportedly detained Iranian trucks passing through Azerbaijan on their way to Armenia.

Relations were further strained when Turkish and Azeri forces held a joint drill in the Caspian Sea. Iran claimed that the drill violated an international convention that barred the forces of countries not bordering on the sea.

On Friday, Iran began a large military exercise close to its border with Azerbaijan. The drill, which Iranian ground forces commander Gen. Kioumars Heidari said was intended to exhibit the country’s capabilities, test the troops’ preparedness and test weaponry, prompted a surprised response from the Azerbaijani president, Ilham Aliyev.
