On November 15, during the hearing on "The future of Nagorno-Karabakh" in the European and Eurasian subcommittee of the Foreign Relations Committee of the US House of Representatives, O'Brien, the representative of the US State Department, urged Azerbaijan not to act together with Iran and Russia.

In response to O'Brien's remarks, Nasser Kanaani, the spokesman of the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that cooperation between Iran and Azerbaijan continues, and the United States has no right to interfere in friendly relations between Iran and neighboring countries.

"The US is talking big because the cooperation between Iran and the countries of the region, including Azerbaijan, continues, and the US has no right to interfere in the friendly relations between Iran and the neighboring countries. It would be better for the US not to interfere in the region's internal affairs," Kanaani said.
