Hindustan Times Explosion In Azerbaijan’s Baku As Iran-Russia Caspian Sea Nexus Threatens US-Brokered Peace Deal

A powerful explosion at a five‑storey office building in Baku’s Narimanov district has left at least five people hospitalized and several others injured, deepening anxiety as Azerbaijan’s relations with Russia and Iran grow more tense. Emergency services rescued seven people from the damaged business center; authorities say the blast did not trigger a fire and are still investigating the precise cause, while local and Russian‑language outlets report initial indications of a gas leak linked to a damaged external pipeline. The incident comes just days after Iran and Russia underscored the strategic importance of the Caspian Sea, widely read as a message to Baku amid Tehran and Moscow’s opposition to a U.S.‑backed corridor arrangement tied to Trump‑mediated Armenia–Azerbaijan talks.
