SUMMARY

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian visited Armenia to discuss concerns over a new corridor connecting Azerbaijan to its Nakhchivan exclave, which Iran opposes. This corridor, part of a US-brokered peace deal, could bring American influence close to Iran’s borders. Pezeshkian finds the presence of American companies in the region “worrying.”

Iran fears the corridor could change the geopolitical landscape and cut off its access to Armenia. Officials warn that it might lead to foreign intervention in the Caucasus. Iran's Foreign Minister called the issue “sensitive,” emphasizing their concern about potential geopolitical changes.
