The concern — as raised by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken — is that may not be the end of Azerbaijan's regional ambitions, and all eyes are now on the Zangezur corridor, a tract of land running along Armenia's border with Iran.

“Israeli long-range missiles and exploding drones known as loitering munitions have made up for Azerbaijan’s small air force, even at times striking deep within #Armenia itself. Meanwhile, #Israel Barak-8 surface-to-air #missiles have protected #Azerbaijan’s airspace in shooting down missiles and #drones,” said Pieter Wezeman, senior researcher at the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, which tracks #arms sales.
