2023 assassination attempt

On March 28, 2023, Azerbaijani MP Fazil Mustafa was the target of a "terrorist attack" at his residence in Baku. He sustained multiple gunshot wounds and is currently undergoing medical treatment. The attack was carried out using Kalashnikov bullets and was strongly condemned by the Azerbaijani government. The authorities have launched a search for the perpetrators, and speculation has arisen that the attack was politically motivated due to Mustafa's criticism of Iran.

On March 31, 2023, Azerbaijan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs revealed that initial investigations into the attack suggested Iran's involvement.

On April 3, 2023, a spokesman for Azerbaijan's interior ministry announced 4 people had been arrested in connection to the attack.
