Tensions between Iran and its neighbor to the northwest, Azerbaijan, have risen once again today with the announcement that Azerbaijan has arrested 22 of their own citizens as “Iranian spies.”
Details were scant in the announcement, but the statement claimed that the targets were US and Israeli embassies and employees, and that some of the people had been recruited by Iran as far back as 1999.
That the alleged plot dates back so far is surprising, since the two nations had been on comparatively good terms until recent years. Their relations really took a turn for the worse last month, with the major Israeli arms sale to Azerbaijan and speculation that Israel might use Azerbaijani territory in its long-threatened attack on Iran.
The arrests are the biggest of a series of arrests claiming to show Iranian plots within the nation. The brother of one of the detainees, in an interview, said he believed the allegations are “unfounded and fabricated.”
Israel got paid not attacking Iran for now by selling its weapons to Azerbaijan, if Iran is going to be attacked the US, Israel and EU needs to attack it from North east and North west and South. So they are preparing their being there by selling all these weapon to Azerbaijan, so Israelis hand in hand with US needs to have said something before preparing American people for war.
This is sounds like one of those hush hush scenarios where a hush hush diplomats is fried in being assassinated because he had something to do with that lists from Israeli diplomats in Tel Aviv, to Baku and then back to Washington having something to do with that senator from South Carolina and then Hillary Clinton back to Teheran and Peking and Oslo lacking any facts presented proving that this is the case, and these 20 Azerbaijanis indeed are Iranian spy wanting to plant a bomb or two just in US and Israel embassies. here if nothing els, it shows that Iran have 2 main enemies, one is Israel and the other is US hand in hand working hard and doing anything to start another war with Iran. The sad part of it is that these reports are that is not even funny, they are simply scary when it comes to what would be the result if Iran is attacked and Iran is retaliating and Russians needed to act defending their interests in the region.
big bad iran strikes again… I wonder if the azeris learned this BS from bahrains fake monarchy? This sad oil soaked puppet government has long been fighting legitimate opposition by calling them spies and terrorists. Sound familiar? I dont think it will be too long before we will see the beginning of an Azeri Spring… After all, what are they going to do? Arrest a hundred thousand people and call them iranian spies?
There is a big difference between “Iran-backed” and “Iranian supporters”. However, this sounds like another western bogus propaganda like the Saudi Ambassador assassination plot or the Bangkok bombings.
It should be noted that the regime in Azerbaijan is detested by the people there, and their supposed plot may have nothing to do with any foreign power, and the regime is simply trying to deflect tha action on others.
