Israel’s Warpath Through The Caspian? Why Iran Thinks Azerbaijan Let Tel Aviv’s Jets Use Secret Air Corridor To Bomb Tehran | World News
Iran-Israel Conflict: Tehran is boiling. Another blow. This time, doubt does not only point to Tel Aviv. All eyes in Baku (Azerbaijan). In a consecutive air strikes that waved Tehran and beyond, Israel’s warrior jets surprisingly reached the Iranian airspace in depth. Tehran now wants to know how and more importantly.
Behind the closed doors, Iran’s military and intelligence drew a rice line. They say it would be impossible for Israel to make sensitive strikes without regional assistance. Tehran claims that this aid comes from Azerbaijan. The Hazar Sea Corridor is now under review.
The accusations come in the midst of rising hostility, and a rotten Iranian leadership is still struggling with unrest, economic coups and foreign attacks. President Masoud Pesshkian spoke directly to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. The message was pointed out. Iran immediately wants an investigation. Did the Israeli jets flew in the territory of Azerbaijan? Did the drones come from there?
Mehdi Sobhani, the Armenian ambassador of Iran, did not underestimate the words. In a statement, “We have received information from neighboring countries that Iran has entered the territory of Iran. Our president asked for a serious investigation. We will wait for the findings.”
He added a warning. “Our enemy does not follow the rules. They do not respect the borders. Even if Azerbaijan does not consent, Israel has a chance to use the moment,” he said.
Azerbaijan rejected everything. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs returned harshly. Spokesman Aykhan described Sobhani’s statement as “provocation .. Official Answer: “Azerbaijan is categorically refuting these claims. Our airspace has not been used. There is no evidence in the allegations.”
But doubt continues. For Iran, the long -standing bonds between Azerbaijan and Israel have always been a source of discomfort. Quiet, but it is undeniable. And now, loudly than ever.
Since the 1990s, Azerbaijan has been trading oil for the firepower. More than 60% of Israel’s crude oil is flowing from Baku. In contrast, Israel’s defense giants filled Azerbaijan with forward weapons – Loitering Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Air Defense Systems, Sensitive Rockets and Surveillance Aircraft.
The numbers tell a story. Between 2016 and 2021, approximately 69% of Azerbaijan’s arms imports came from Israel. A figure of over $ 5 billion. Some of these systems helped Azerbaijan dominate the 2020 and 2023 Nagorno-Karabak conflicts.
The agreements did not stop here. Reports say that Mossad has a silent presence in Azerbaijan. A forward base. A listening article. Probably even an airport is ready for a strike along the border. According to the Israeli media, the stolen Iranian nuclear archive was kidnapped through Azerbaijan.
Tehran feels surrounded now. Squeezed. Isfahan and Kermanshah air defense systems reportedly shot from the West. Drones may have shifted from Iraq. However, the most direct flights from the Caspian to Azerbaijan cannot be ignored.
Iran’s allies – Russia, Armenia and Turkmenistan – are likely to offer this access, which leaves a possibility. And this is Baku.
What makes the situation more flammable is timing. Since October 2023, Israel has been fighting on more than one front, including Gaza and Lebanon. And now, probably Tehran. Fuel is critical. So are the advanced work options. Azerbaijan provides both.
On the larger chessboard of the region, the energy agreement for weapons has become more than a trade. A change in strategy. A deep rearrangement.
Military planners are arranged in Tehran. The idea of the “North Front” is no longer fiction. This is a real possibility. Mossad drones, air raids or worse.
The accusations fly and the diplomats are clear – this is no longer just two countries. Hazar became a corridor of conflict. And if Tehran’s claims are proven to be true, he can already mark a new stage in a dangerous shadow war.
