The standoff between Iran, Israel and the United States over Tehran’s nuclear weapons ambitions has drawn in another player: Azerbaijan.
According to intelligence officials, Iran’s security services have concluded that Azerbaijan, its Muslim neighbor to the north, has been enlisted by Israel in a campaign of cyber attacks, assassinations and detailed military planning aimed at destabilizing and ultimately destroying Tehran’s nuclear research program.
I had no doubt that Iran has been aware of these things (including use of Azeri airspace and airbases) but thanks for verifying it.
That Iranian perspective, described by a range of current and former US intelligence officials who asked that their names remain confidential, has led to a crackdown on Iran’s sizeable ethnic Azeri minority
that is not true...someone should tell these US intel officials that they have the wrong intel who don't want to give their names but make such statements that promotes separation where there isn't any.
and the launch of an Iranian counter espionage offensive to destabilize the government of President Ilham Aliev.
however this is true.....good job Iran.
Ethnic Azeris are Iran’s largest minority group, comprising about 16 percent of the population, mostly clustered along the northern border and in Tehran.
Ethnic Azaris are not considered a minority in Iran.
