“We had no evidence on the ground to substantiate anything. We need to speak based on documentation. People say things, but we need precise evidence to back it up. We still don’t have any evidence,” he said.

Larijani added that Azerbaijan has explicitly denied such allegations and described the country as a neighbouring, Muslim, and friendly nation with strong cultural ties to Iran.
