Executive Summary

Today is Day 22 of the US-Israel war against Iran. In Baku, the US Embassy remains closed for the Novruz holiday until March 25. Heydar Aliyev International Airport is operating in enhanced mode to handle holiday passenger surges. A new traffic project began at the intersection of Tbilisi Avenue, Hasan Aliyev, and Shafayat Mehdiyev streets. This is causing local commute disruptions near the Nasimi and Yasamal district borders. The expected WUF13 event continues at the Baku Olympic Stadium. It concludes on March 24. The expected Iranian retaliation against US bases occurred. Iran struck a joint US-UK base on Diego Garcia. Israel and the US attacked Iran's Natanz nuclear facility on March 21. The expected Nakhchivan border tensions remain unresolved. Baku demands a full investigation into the recent drone strike. The regional war pushed Azerbaijani oil prices to $122.70,853 people. American personnel in Baku should maintain a low profile during Novruz public gatherings. Expect heavy traffic near Tbilisi Avenue and the airport.
