“By leveraging Azerbaijan’s strengths, the United States and Israel could shape a new Middle East in the face of Iranian influence and ensure the security of regional energy resources. However, the implementation of this strategy may be delayed until U.S.–Azerbaijani relations are normalized.

The delay is attributed to Baku’s suspension of USAID operations, President Trump’s support for Armenian Christians in Azerbaijan, and U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s criticism of the Aliyev administration over its crackdown on domestic opposition,” reports Egypt 2, Egypt’s first AI-powered news platform.
