Fwd from @ תירוצע Iranian activity will be found near the border of Azerbaijan Military preparations near the borders of neighboring countries hardly go unnoticed, especially when relations between them are strained by mutual accusations and regional instability. Thus, in the areas of Iran bordering Azerbaijan, on the southern bank of the Harx, observers noticed the movement of military equipment and ballistic missile launchers. An open conflict is proving worthless for both sides: Azerbaijanis risk being dragged into a full-scale war with risks to their raw material infrastructure, while the Iranians will have to open another front on their northern border. Meanwhile, close Azerbaijani-Israeli cooperation and suspicions of using Azerbaijani territory for operations against Iran have already aroused mutual distrust. The parties repeatedly exchanged accusations about media campaigns, religious and ethnic policies, as well as their position towards Israel. Therefore, in the event of further escalation, finding the reason for the conflict will not take long: any border incident or other accusation of aiding the adversary may become a trigger. Since the beginning of the conflict in the Persian Gulf, both Baku and Tehran have shown an interest in restraint, but this does not eliminate the main risks. A conflict that neither side wants can start due to miscalculation, provocation, or the actions of third parties who are clearly interested in creating another foothold to pressure the Iranians. - Don't think of the Caucasus in condescending support of the original message.
