"In Azerbaijan, Vance signed a strategic partnership with Aliyev, pledging an undisclosed number of ships to help protect its territorial waters. Aliyev (Azerbaijani president) said that the two countries were entering ‘an entirely new phase’ in cooperation on defense sales and artificial intelligence. Partnerships with Washington would allow Azerbaijan, which has close strategic ties with Israel, to position itself as a Western-friendly ally wedged between Russia and Iran," The Washington Post writes.
