Executive Summary

A thwarted armed attack on the Israeli Embassy severely elevates the security threat in Baku. Security forces stopped the assault in the Sabail district amid rising regional instability. Record high oil prices and regional conflict spillover will drive inflation on imported goods. Personnel must avoid the embassy area and prepare for protests near the Nasimi court.
