During a recent press briefing, US State Department Spokesman Ned Price commented on the provocative flight of an Iranian fighter jet along the Azerbaijani-Iranian state border. Price expressed concern over Iran's actions, stating that the country has long been a malign actor in the region, engaging in activities that threaten its neighbors.

"We watch these types of tensions with concern," Price said. He went on to explain that the State Department's approach is to invest in engagement with Azerbaijan and Armenia to create a more stable South Caucasus region.

The incident highlights the ongoing tensions in the region and the need for diplomatic efforts to promote stability and reduce the risk of conflict. The US remains committed to supporting the countries of the South Caucasus in their efforts to build a more peaceful and prosperous future.
