Aliyev expressed condolences to Iran and offered humanitarian aid

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian spoke by phone with his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aliyev and promised to conduct a thorough investigation into the recent incident with the arrival of drone at Nakhichevan Airport. Pezeshkian assured Aliyev that Tehran had nothing to do with it.

Aliyev, in turn, expressed his condolences to Pezeshkian over the death of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, Ali Khamenei, and many civilians, and also offered to provide humanitarian aid to Iran.

In turn, French President Emmanuel Macron also spoke by phone with Pezeschkian, but, unlike Aliyev, refrained from offering condolences or offers of assistance, instead calling on Tehran to "immediately cease attacks on countries in the region." Macron called Iran's activities "destabilizing" and accused Tehran of provoking a crisis in the region.

Earlier, the Iranian army issued an ultimatum to Azerbaijan. Iranian Armed Forces General Staff spokesman Khatam al-Anbiya emphasized that if Azerbaijan does not immediately expel the Zionists and their assets from its territory, they will become targets for the Iranian armed forces.

As is known, following the arrival of unidentified drones near Nakhchivan Airport, Azerbaijani authorities demonstratively began deploying troops to the border with Iran, recalled their diplomats from Tehran, and suspended cross-border freight traffic.

The tomato seller doesn't want to fight because it's fraught with problems, so he backed up. So what if two drones arrived?

[The popuas]

Looks like he got wind of who the drones came from...

[novel66]

Maybe he's lost his mind? What's the point of Iran attacking the Azerbaijanis? And it's so pointless, too. They even have a navy in the Caspian, so how could they insult Baku so brazenly?

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

The combination could be very complex. For example, Iran could demand that Azerbaijan stop supplying oil to Israel. We'll see, but for now, one thing is clear: the matter is murky.

[Shurik70]

You are not right.
If he had threatened, then yes, one would have to guess whether he would hit or not.
But if he suddenly expresses condolences and offers humanitarian aid, he will definitely hit.
He's extremely dependent on Turkey and the United States, after all. And he'll never do anything against NATO.
Such a maneuver cannot be assessed as anything other than a "lulling of vigilance."
Imitates the US, which officially declared a couple of hours before the bombing that "peace negotiations are going well."

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

The same applies to you. Turkey has no interest in destroying Iranian statehood. You're misunderstanding the situation. It's not a given that Russia will be next to destroy Iran. Turkey could be next, as the next major player not only in the East but also globally. The Sultan understands this. The US is creating a scorched earth wherever it can reach. Israel could target Turkey next.

[Shurik70]

I don't think the US will bomb Turkey. They need a vassal state in that region, not ruins.
But helping replace Erdogan with a more loyal one—that's a given. No question about it.
There have already been attempts. And they will continue.
Moreover, regardless of the events in Iran.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

But that's not a given. Bombing Turkey is impossible when Iran, a strong and independent force, albeit currently neutral, is nearby. And once Iran is gone, Turkey will be defenseless. And Israel doesn't need a rival like Turkey.

[Shurik70]

A "pro-American" government will lick the ass of not only the US, but also Israel.
At the same time, he will stop all rearmament of the army in favor of his own developments and will buy weapons from the USA and the Jews.
This Türkiye would suit Israel just fine.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Again, this is your purely personal opinion. Türkiye enjoys a much higher level of sovereignty than other European countries. In particular, they welcomed Russian gas pipelines under the Black Sea.

[Shurik70]

This is Erdogan's personal achievement.
It was not for nothing that Russia, despite the downed plane, still warned him about the impending coup.
And if he is replaced by someone like Gülen (which would have happened if the coup had been successful), Türkiye will lose all of this.

[RUSICH]

Quote: Sergey Alexandrovich

Türkiye could be next

How do you imagine the United States bombing a NATO member?

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Israel will easily point out the next one and they will exclude it and start dealing with Turkey.

[RUSICH]

Quote: Sergey Alexandrovich

Do not invent.
Türkiye has been a NATO member since 1952, has the second-largest army in the alliance, and is home to the headquarters of NATO Land Command.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Greece is also a NATO member, but Türkiye attacked Cyprus and there was no reaction from NATO.
The US and Israel are not bound by law. NATO could very well collapse, but the US-Israeli alliance will remain.
There's no point in trying to convince me. You're more likely trying to convince yourself.

[RUSICH]

Quote: Sergey Alexandrovich

Greece is also a NATO member, but Türkiye attacked Cyprus.

As I understand it, you just want to argue on any topic, without even understanding what you are arguing about.

These are two different countries - Greece and the Republic of Cyprus, the latter's independence from Britain, whose colony it was, was declared on October 1, 1960.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

I just can't figure out what this great expert in your person is advocating: the inviolability of NATO friendship or the inviolability of Turkey?

[RUSICH]

Yes, even before that he knew perfectly well who sent them.

Find out who benefits and everything will become clear. Why does Aliyev need unnecessary problems?

[Abqora]

Quote: Staal

The tomato seller doesn't want to fight.

I don't understand why you write one thing and the news is something else. The Iranian president called Aliyev and started making excuses, saying it wasn't them, and promised to conduct a thorough investigation. Only after that did Ilham Aliyev open the roads and offer assistance. But before the call, he said very harshly on TV that they would regret it, and the Iranian side also knows that Aliyev doesn't throw words into the air. If he says something, he'll do it. Remember how a terrorist attacked the Azerbaijani embassy in Tehran? And what happened? He was executed in front of Azerbaijani representatives. The Armenians also talked about tomatoes, and we all saw what happened to them.

[Dilettante grandfather]

The Iranian President called Aliyev and began to justify himself by saying that it wasn't them.

Could you please provide more details, in which line of this article is this written?

[hrych]

Quote: Abqora

Once he says it, he will do it.

A petty, totalitarian princeling, used as a contraceptive and then discarded. He has no say. They've already found a replacement for him. They're resolving the issue with Russia, and Putin is interceding for some reason, but they've almost convinced him...

Quote: Abqora

The Armenians also spoke about tomatoes, and we all saw what happened to them in the end.

Have they already taken Yerevan, or did I miss something? Have they taken 3 square kilometers of Artsakh? Oh, wow, Empire! Crimea's area is over 27 square kilometers, so that's understandable. And it wasn't the Azerbaijanis who won, but Pashinyan who surrendered Artsakh on orders from above. You see, they wanted to include it in the North-South corridor for the security of the EU energy market. No need to work and just relax. What Artsakh? It's completely irrelevant now, and the corridor on the other side of the Caspian is more reliable and already functioning, unlike the Transcaucasian utopia. You can puff out your cheeks, but the powers that be don't care about the national pride of the natives. And if there's oil, then rejoice... for now. Sooner or later, they'll come and take it.

[Sergey Mitinsky]

Aliyev doesn't throw words to the wind
He said that his army would defeat the Karabakh militia and he won.
And of course he didn't back down. If Pazeshkian hadn't apologized in time, Iran would have been in trouble as the Karabakh militia.

[paul3390]

There's a feeling that his opinion doesn't really matter to anyone anymore. If the master gives the order, he'll gallop off to fight like he's been bitten in the ass.

[Abqora]

Quote: paul3390

The master gives the order and he will gallop off to fight as if he has been bitten in the ass.

That's a whole other story. The fact is, the Iranian president called, explained, and promised to look into everything in detail. This happened before, when Tehran was attacked, and Baku's conditions were to punish the terrorist. They tried for a long time to justify it, but Aliyev stood his ground, and ultimately, he was executed in front of Azerbaijani representatives. Now, if it turns out that someone from within is behind this again, and until they are executed, there will be no diplomacy. I repeat, the Azerbaijani authorities have acted this way. If I'm not mistaken, this is the second time.

[Normal]

What does "from within" mean? There's a word for it, "from within." Does Western Ukraine have its own Russian dictionary? If I were your supervisor, I'd fire him immediately for such a failure.

The tomato seller doesn't want to fight because it's fraught with problems, so he backed up. So what if two drones arrived?

The Mountain Hebrew is not trusted at all, just like his sponsors - the Zionists, the wallets of the small British, the Israeli tsts ev bibi and the mattress makers. The Sultan's influence also exists, but only of a local nature, and the rhinoceros always keeps his dagger behind his back.

[gribanov.c]

In general, Azerbaijan also says: go into the trenches yourself

[multi-category]

He wants to fight, but he's completely unprepared. Azerbaijan has weak air defenses and a vulnerable economy.
Iran can very quickly make people regret their aggression.
Moreover, Azerbaijan first fell under Turkey, then under the United States, and requires complex consultations to avoid stepping on the toes of any of the scary ones during the action.
Therefore, they are concentrating their forces at the border and are still determining the tactical situation, without having decided what to do next.
It seems to me that Aliyev should think about generous compensation from Iran for neutrality and keep a low profile.

[Sergey3]

Why did you drive tanks there?

[The popuas]

So the blood is hot...the kid flared up

[Vicente]

That's right, Ilkhan sensed something was wrong... The East is a delicate matter

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Iran could drag Azerbaijan back to the Middle Ages in a single day. It would shut down Azerbaijan's oil industry for a year and a half, and that would be the end of Aliyev and independence.

[Vicente]

Yeah, I think they showed Ilhan a yellow card in Istanbul, like, "You'll be lost without Turkey, and we won't get caught up in the mess," and that's it, we're done...

[multi-category]

Turkey's role in the conflict can vary greatly. They have motives to attack Israel, to attack Iran, to hinder the US over the Kurdish issue, and so on.
In any case, it is not in their interests now to incite conflict in any form.

[Vicente]

Exactly, Azerbaijan is heavily dependent on Turkey, apparently it's their influence on Ilkhan, you noticed correctly

[alexboguslavski]

Apparently, Aliyev has nothing to bring against Iran. He'll either turn on himself or his "new friends."
We have to rewind, fortunately the point of no return was not passed.

Azerbaijan has resumed the movement of freight vehicles across the border with Iran., the country's government reported.

[Micha1981]

It's just that European airlines are currently flying over Azerbaijan, so they shouldn't be shut down, and is there anything to cover the oil fields with?

[Brturin]

More precisely, oil and gas... and for European airlines... it's impossible through Russia, it's impossible through Iran, there's only the narrow isthmus of Transcaucasia left - if it's closed, the route from Europe to Asia is effectively closed for them, they have to fly around through the Indian Ocean to China or Japan.

[Gorynych1]

The mustachioed one makes a soft bed, but sleeps hard. Or maybe the Sultan forbade him.

❝ Aliyev expressed condolences to Iran and offered humanitarian aid ❞ —
❝ Earlier, the Iranian army issued an ultimatum to Azerbaijan ❞ —

[Fangaro]

And harmony and agreement came between them...
Have the troops been withdrawn from the border with Iran?
Has the transport corridor been opened?

[snow mountain]

offered humanitarian aid

Tomatoes?

[pharmacist]

Is this a photo of Aliyev at the moment of offering condolences?

[Arkady007]

Yes, Ilham quickly deflated, but how he puffed out his cheeks menacingly.

[gsev]

Quote: Arkady007

Aliyev knows how to plan long-term and choose practically optimal courses of action. He was able to recapture Nagorno-Karabakh from Armenia. Until the US and Israel completely defeat Iran, he will not attempt to annex Iranian Azerbaijan.

[Arkady007]

And if the US and Israel don’t defeat Iran, will Ilham run to make peace?
How will Ilham annex 30 million of Iran with his 10?

[gsev]

Azerbaijan is a small country compared to Turkey, Iran, Russia, Great Britain, and the United States. Its first priority is to preserve its independence. Iran, unlike Azerbaijan, seems to be less successful in this. Piedmont and Prussia once annexed vast and densely populated territories with relative ease.

[multi-category]

It's too early to draw conclusions. Although, perhaps he's already received something from Iran for his neutrality.
In any case, Aliyev could gain some benefit from the mobilized group of troops on the border. From one of the parties to the conflict.

[VyacheSeymour]

Enjoyed the comments...
Well, I had a question (strangely, it doesn’t arise in the minds of all the commentators here):
Why is Azerbaijan itself simultaneously under Turkey, and under Israel, and under the United States, and under England, and ..., but not under its border neighbors Russia and Iran?
Where's the catch? The commentators' incompetence or the incompetence of Russian and Iranian policy?

[Inevitably]

In short, it’s all here at once!

[gsev]

Quote: VyacheSeymour

Was Russia prepared to help Aliyev annex Nagorno-Karabakh? Was Iran prepared to pressure Armenia by cutting off its access to Iranian hydrocarbons? Nevertheless, Aliyev maintained normal relations with both Russia and Iran. And Israel was interested in supplying weapons to countries not hostile to Israel and its allies.

[rocket757]

There will be a lot of confusion and provocations surrounding the conflict...
Those who are smarter will keep to themselves, and the useful fools... well, it seems like not many of those there are eager to take on this role, only the gay European brats are ready to stand out, and even then NOT ALL of them!

[Junior Private]

The conqueror of Artsakh and the vanquisher of Armenians has abruptly retreated. The Persians know how to negotiate, and they're not joking—he'll come flying without any warning. Aliyev's business has already been cut off, and you can't live on tomatoes alone. He changed his tune in a flash.

[SSR]

Quote: Junior Private

Aliyev's business has already been cut off,

However, oil reserves and quality began to decrease and deteriorate.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

It's quite possible that the unnamed "neighbor from the north" hinted at difficult circumstances and pinched something in him.

[gribanov.c]

if Azerbaijan does not immediately expel the Zionists and their assets from its territory

Why is this requirement only applied to Azerbaijan?

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Apart from Azerbaijan, no locals tried to stand up for the USA and Israel.

[eon eon]

The news is positive, and the understanding on the part of Azerbaijan is encouraging.

[commander]

It seems like Aliyev's brains have been straightened out. Now we need Pashinyan too. And to put both of them under strict control.

[commander]

It’s just that Iran can only have one outcome: the Northern direction through Azerbaijan and Armenia.

[VladislavZ]

Trust the Turks? Seriously? How can you trust them? It's like trusting a Jew during negotiations or putting centipedes in your underwear. The result is the same.

[Sergey Mitinsky]

As I understand it, Israel and the US are in trouble here too.
Nobody wants to fight Iran. Aliyev waved his fists and was satisfied with that.

[LuzinI]

The truth is multifaceted and emotionless, unlike lies (which include half-truths).
Politics is a dirty business, so both presidents have limited themselves to empty words. Even if Aliyev was framed by the drone provocation, Pezeshkian swears peace to everyone (he's a shady one—he clearly espouses pro-Western ideals and is only playing a forced role).

[solar]

This is some kind of over-the-top, bombastic article about Iran screwing someone over. As if now is the perfect time for Iran to be squabbling with Azerbaijan, and Iran doesn't have enough problems :((. In reality, it's simpler.
The Iranians, specifically President Pezeshkian, admitted that in the circumstances in which the Iranian leadership was killed, many commanders fired at their own discretion.

"Following the recent events in which our commanders and our leader were killed, our armed forces, in the absence of their commanders, independently took all measures they considered necessary."

And now the Iranians have agreed to conduct an investigation and find the culprit who fired at Azerbaijan. This, incidentally, isn't the first time. This has happened before, and the Iranians have independently identified and punished the perpetrators. This suits Aliyev.

[Inevitably]

Yes, this is the most likely explanation.

[Prisoner]

Realized it? Hell no! If things were going well for the Zionists and the Yankees, the Israeli plan would have worked.

[snow mountain]

Quote from S.S.R.

However, oil reserves and quality began to decrease and deteriorate.

And in the event of unfriendly actions, these reserves will completely disappear, along with the oil fields.

[Mazunga]

You're still trying to mobilize the Azeris from the markets))) and the Iranians are already mobilized
