Iran Army tests combat readiness with surprise drills near Turkey border

[Battle of Waterloo]

They will start internal war first.. Imagine Iranian regime would fire bullets to Turkish demonstrators from Tabriz like Irag did recently. Immediately, Azerbaijan, Turkey, even Pakistan would supply those forces..
What i mean is if Turkey really was a mad person, or against Iran, it could damage it and also itself.

That is not the same thing as claiming the only reason the US hasn't attacked Iran is because of Turkey...

Iran showing support for syria....but it wong cross the border or face Turkey. They know turks are not arabs

What's wrong with Arabs? and how you fit them in Turkey vs. Iran equation?

if they fight against EU or US or Saudis, you are right, they will accept themselves as part of Iran, but not against Turkey, lets just agree here... especially when Iran starts a war from out of nowhere, lets say Iran attack Turkey tomorrow. everybody will think why? or think sned your Persians to fight the war then...

Azerbaijan is just a name, even Armenia call us Turks and others too. There were no Azerbaijan in History, but there was Safavids which was ruled by Turkish people for centuries...

There is gonna be no war btw 2 countries, what is good btw Iran and Turkey is these 2 know how to mange differences ... on fighting against Turkey I made examples of 500 years of history and the fact that the people in these areas always put Iran "their motherland" first ... so let's disagree here ... Iran has not started any war in the past 3 centuries and would not start any in future ... Saddam was thinking the same when he attacked Khouzestan ..
And Azerbaijan ain't just a name it's history.

I agree about all of them, as we both start a war for a reason. We are both smart and not lunatic like SA or UAE to dream they will have an easy war like in American movies..
only thing i dont agree is Azerbaijan. There never was a country or nation called Azerbaijan...

No stories , google it all ...
Even Azarbaejan is a Persian word ... Azar (fire, ninth month of Iranian calendar ) + Bayegan(Guardians, custodian) which means guardians of holy fire so please stop it .. I've seen them and I know in all countres there are such a people ...

Even Baku is a persian word. It comes from the words Baad Koob. Wind beaten.
There are also no Turks in Iran. Turks are mongolid people. Azaris are Aryan people, just like all other Iranians (genetics testing proves this). Even people of Turkey have almost no Turkish gennetics.
The Ottomans hated Turks and made fund of them and called them stupid...... Mostapha Kamal the homosexul freemason came up with the idea that people of the former ottoman empire are Turks..... he even called the Kurds mountain Turks. All made up bullcrap.

"if Turkey wouldnt be there, Iran could have been attacked by US and others already"
what the hell are you on?!.....

He conveniently excluded the fact that US/NATO asked TUrkey to erect a ballistic missile detector radar in Turkey to track Iranian BMs and Turkey followed those instructions...until Iran made serious threats.

You can say stories here as you wish... but as an Azerbaijani, i know way better what is going on in Iran... just type traktor futbol team in youtube and you will understand what i mean

As an Azerbaijani, you live in delusions based on alternative facts put in your head by internet warriors and propaganda channels. Azerbaijanis of Iran make up nearly 20% of the population. Most reputable stats, even not very reputable ones like the CIA world facebook, give an estimation of about 16%-19%. And as far as Tehran is concerned, as a citizen of Tehran, I can tell you that a considerable size of children born to Iranian Azerbaijanis do not speak or understand Azeri (like my cousins whose father is from Tabriz but they don't understand the language when his father talks with his family on the phone).

And just because a bunch of wannabe hooligans fill a 70,000 seat stadium that doesn't prove anything. The Azadi stadium of Tehran has an attendance record of 120,000 fans for Persepolis FC vs. Esteghlal FC. So what?

I personally think that this Turkish-Kurdish conflict is not bad for Iran. Kurds recently have been acting against Iran's interests, relying on the US and Israeli support. They need a reminder like this to make better decisions in future. We should wait and see how the situation develops in the coming months. If Turkey keeps Iran informed of her decisions and sticks to our agreements, there shouldn't be much to worry about.

Fun fact: in the only two wars the Persians ever faced the Turks, the Turks got decimated. The Turks never defeated us. They might have ruled the lands of Iran once, but only because Iran was destabilized and fractured at that time. It didn't follow a military defeat. Also, they took over Persian high culture and identity to legitimise themselves vis-a-vis the population. And if we consider modern Turks to be Turkified Anatolians, it is important to note that no Anatolian-based empire ever managed to defeat Iran. We did conquer Anatolia many times though.

About this exercise: I don't think the message is against Turkey. Iran might expect more activity from Kurdish insurgent groups in the border area now that Turkey is attacking the YPG. And while Iran might publicly oppose Turkey's invasion of northeastern Syria, as Iran's own Kurdish population is hugely sympathetic towards the Kurds in Syria, I'm guessing that it doesn't really object to its actions, simply because it is detrimental to American interests.

Base on their own wordings they are Roman Muslim and yes Azaris are Aryan people whom their language got influenced ...

Very beautifully put!!!

Here I am, a son of two Iranian immigrants, born in the United States reading borderline sectarian comments about a subject that makes me rip my hair out due my own inability to fully grasp why Iranians which are Azeri, Kurd, Persian, Lor and others, take such staunch lines of division when it comes to identity.

There is very little genetic difference between the people who are called Iranians living in Iran today if I'm not mistaken. The cultures and mannerisms are also damn near uniform or close enough to each other across the Iranian land yet we get those who want to say they aren't Iranian or are somehow different since they wear their clothes with two buttons instead of three thus denoting a categorical difference which calls for secession or some other arbitrary line of division.

Azeri, Kurd, Lor, Persian, XYZABCDEFG 123456 or whatever else. All come from the common yolk of Aryan people that migrated from the Caucasus's thousands upon thousands of years ago. It really sad to see such needless bickering when there is very little difference between these groups of people but outsiders who aren't Iranian still try tooth and nail to carve away at our history, culture, language and peoples in order to lay claim to what isn't naturally theirs.

To this day I tell people here in the States that I'm an American born to IRANIAN PARENTS, Persian or any other specifics are superfluous when it comes to the larger picture. We need to come together since we are all effectively one group of people. Needless division is how our enemies tear us apart piece by piece!!!
