Azerbaijan recently denied the presence of Israeli military in its territory, likely due to concerns about Iran’s response. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran called out this denial on social media, pointing to evidence that contradicts Azerbaijan’s statement.
Despite Azerbaijan’s official claim that no foreign military forces are present in the country, Israeli television Channel 14 reported on the Israeli army’s request to withdraw its forces from Azerbaijan. This indirect admission of their presence raises doubts about the accuracy of Baku’s assertion.
The IRGC warned that any country supporting Israel during an operation against Iran would be seen as complicit in an attack on Iran. This statement highlights the complex geopolitical dynamics at play in the region.
It will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds and whether Azerbaijan will maintain its stance amidst growing scrutiny from both Iran and Israel.
