Jewish intimidation and appeasement: Iran, which refers to Azerbaijan as the “adopted son of the State of Israel,” is very upset about the growing ties between Israel and the former Soviet republic. Iranians have delivered a clear and obvious threat to President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliev via the Revolutionary Guards’ official Telegram channels. The Jewish community in Beko also got involved in calming down the Azeris.

Iran even went farther and disseminated a new conspiracy, according to which Azerbaijan plans to annexe a portion of Armenia under Israeli control in order to disrupt Iran’s geographic and continental continuity with Russia and Europe and harm its economy. Iran uses Armenia, which it recently gained as an ally, to send drones and missiles to Russia for use in Ukraine.

It is stated in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ official declaration that “It is obvious how Baku contributed to the murders and vandalism that Israel conducted against Iran. Israel has just turned Baku into its biggest Asian ally, and it actively uses the infrastructure there to oppress the Iranian people.” The Iranian army also declared yesterday that its air defense and air force were at a higher state of battle readiness.

According to Yevgeni Barnizen, deputy chairman of Netzach Israel Community Europe in Baku, “The threats from Iran are increasing, but the army and the government of Azerbaijan are ready for any development in an optimal and maximal way since the war in 2020.” This statement was made in response to the Iranian threats. Let’s keep in mind that during that conflict, Israel provided significant assistance to Azerbaijan in liberating its occupied territory, he said.

Bernizan remarked as well: “I believe that the Iranian government is exacerbating the situation and blaming Israel and the Zionists in order to quell the widespread protests taking place inside Iran. After all, they assert that war is the best possible distraction.”

No one in Azerbaijan is impacted by the anti-Semitic element of the Iranian threats, the vice-chairman of the European Jewish community in Baku reaffirmed in his remarks “The Jews have always been regarded as brothers in Azerbaijan. Yet the issue is quite serious. In the past, the Iranian media frequently depicted the president of the nation as an anti-Semitic caricature with a large nose and a cap “said he.

It should be recalled that for the past 30 years, Israel has purchased more than 40% of its energy needs from Azerbaijan and sells innovative civil and military technologies to Baku. While Tehran’s embassy is closed as a result of the terrorist incident that occurred there in January, it will open in Israel in the coming days. Iran poses an equal threat to both nations.
