On April 2, Azerbaijani MP Fazil Mustafa met with representatives of several U.S. media outlets in Baku. During the meeting, Mustafa "answered journalists' questions regarding Azerbaijan-U.S. relations," according to the Azerbaijani news agency APA.

OC Media (Open Caucasus Media), a Tbilisi-based media platform focused on Caucasus region news, notes: "Group of Western conservative journalists visit Azerbaijan and meet with well-known anti-Iran MP... In 2023, Mustafa survived a shooting outside his home in Baku, which authorities characterised as an ‘act of terror’. Azerbaijani authorities hinted that the shooting may have been connected to Mustafa’s hawkish views on Iran... The visit by the group of journalists comes amid increasing discussion of a US–Israel–Azerbaijan trilateral alliance, which has led to speculation that the administration of US President Donald Trump may be attempting to use the partnership as a ‘bulwark against Iranian influence.’"
