The Telegram channel "Sepah Cybery" of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps reports that Azerbaijani tanks are moving towards Asgaran in Artsakh. It is also claimed that Türkiye and Israel support military operations.

Pashinyan says that the Armenian authorities should not take any uncalculated, drastic and adventurous actions, and hopes that Russian peacekeepers will take measures to stabilize the situation in Karabakh.

Russia: "Russian peacekeepers will not intervene in the operation launched by the Azerbaijani army in Karabakh."

Fighting in the skies over Stepankert, in Nagorno-Karabakh. In the video we can hear what appear to be Azerbaijani drones and, in the background, the sounds of shooting, probably from Armenian anti-aircraft artillery.

It beggars belief how stupid a leader can be. Armenia has spent the last two years trying to court NATO and downgrading relations with Russia. The recent US-Armenian exercises were likely instigated to assess Armenian military capability prior to this campaign.

The only option for Armenia at this point is full mobilisation and a fight to the death.

The Russians weren't going to save them and betrayed them last year so they asked the Americans, that's only natural. I guess we'll see soon if they used the past year to prepare for what's coming now

Desperation and stupidity often look the same.

Russian deterrence of Azerbaijan was based on the threat of Russian military might. That has been fatally undermined by the Ukraine war, where it is self evident that Russia doesn’t have the spare troops, equipment or will punish Azerbaijan for any transgressions.

Everyone knows this, so Azerbaijan started to get ready to change reality on the ground to its benefit, and Armenia took a punt at American security guarantees. The American gambit was a desperate long shot, little more, and proved too little too late.

It doesn’t look like Armenia has the means or the will to do much fighting. I think their ‘strategy’ might be to simply roll over and pray Azerbaijan didn’t take too big of a bite out of its territory while secretly hoping the AzerbaijanI troops commit enough atrocities to force the west to put enough diplomatic pressure to force Azerbaijan to stop, eventually.

There's no sign of peace anymore,you cannot keep peace in a war area... Russian peacekeepers better to leave the area with the little amount of firepower they have there.

2 years courting NATO > Russia not bailing them out 1 year ago.

Must be Russia fault.

It's over, Artsakh forces announced capitulation

I suppose Putin was hoping for something similar to this last year.

Unsurprising, that Armenians is blaming Russia to bank on NATO while conveniently ignoring the fact their own PM basically announced that Nagorno-Karabakh was part of Azerbaijan less then 5 months ago. Iran said it recognizes it as Azerbaijani as well as the Russians because Armenia no longer has a claim to it. Even if Russia or Iran wanted to “diplomatically” intervene. They had little to no leverage over negotiations due to the PM statement. Then there is the other conspiracy that this was a plan by the pro-nato PM to force a realignment towards NATO.

Hardly a conspiracy. That is what has been happening over the last couple years.
