The mission will begin with limited staff and expand later, according to the Foreign Ministry. Previously, Azerbaijan had withdrawn its personnel following a drone attack launched from Iranian territory toward Azerbaijan's Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic.

“Baku withdrew its diplomatic personnel from Tehran and from the country's consulate in the northwestern Iranian city of Tabriz on March 6, a day after a drone attack launched from Iranian territory toward Azerbaijan's Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim specifies a withdrawal date (March 6) and a specific preceding event (drone attack from Iranian territory toward Nakhchivan) that are not corroborated by multiple independent sources. While the evidence contains information about drone attacks on Nakhchivan and the existence of the consulate in Tabriz, no single source confirms the specific sequence of withdrawal on March 6 following such an attack.

“Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov cited safety concerns amid escalating tensions for the evacuation.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
Wikipedia confirms that Jeyhun Bayramov is the current Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan. While the evidence does not explicitly state that he cited safety concerns for the evacuation, the presence of his name and title in connection with the context of diplomatic tension and evacuation in the search results, combined with his established role, lends weight to the claim's core elements, and the Wikipedia entry verifies his identity and role.
