Threats and Jewish appeasement: the intensifying relationship between Israel and Azerbaijan is causing a lot of anger from the Iranians who define the latter as the "adopted son of the State of Israel".
In the last day, the Iranians sent through the official Telegram channels of the Revolutionary Guards - a clear and explicit threat to the President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and the Jewish community in Baku rallied to calm the Azeris.

Iran even stepped up and spread a new conspiracy, according to which, under Israeli leadership, Azerbaijan intends to take over a part of Armenia's territory, with the aim of interrupting Iran's geographic-continental continuity with Russia and Europe, thus causing it economic damage.
Armenia, which recently became an ally of Tehran, is used by Iran in the transfer of drones and missiles to Russia for use in Ukraine.
In the official announcement published by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, it is written that "Baku's role in the acts of killing and acts of vandalism committed by Israel against Iran is clear.
In recent years, Baku has become Israel's main Asian ally, which is actually using the infrastructure in Azerbaijan against the Iranian people." At the same time, the Iranian army announced yesterday the combat readiness of its air force and air defense at an increased level.
As mentioned, following the Iranian threats - the Jewish community in Azerbaijan published a message of support for the Israeli-Azeri relationship, "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", said Yevgeni Barnizen - Deputy Chairman Netzach Israel Community Europe in Baku.
According to him, "Let's remember that in that war - Israel helped Azerbaijan a lot to liberate its occupied territories."
Bernizan also added: "In my opinion, the Iranian authorities are escalating the situation, and blaming Israel and the Zionists - in order to neutralize the mass demonstrations inside Iran. After all, they say there is nothing better to divert attention - than war."

The vice-chairman of the European Jewish community in Baku reiterated in his words that no one in Azerbaijan is affected by the anti-Semitic component of the Iranian threats, since "Azerbaijan has always treated the Jews as brothers. But the concern is very great. In the past, the Iranian press has often portrayed the country's president In an anti-Semitic caricature with a big nose and a cap," he said.
It should be noted that Israel has been receiving more than 40% of energy resources from Azerbaijan for the past 30 years, and is selling new civil and military technologies to Baku.
In the coming days, the Embassy of Azerbaijan will open in Israel, while in Tehran it is closed due to the terrorist attack that took place there in January.
Both countries are equally threatened by Iran.
