`Will Iran be attacked from Azerbaijan’s territory?’ So asks an
article in Irdiplomacy.ir.

The author of the article, citing Global Post’s report, notes that
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.

Referring to assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists over the
past several years, the author of the article writes: `As tensions
between Israel and Iran have heightened and US and European talks on
Iran’s nuclear program have stalled, Iran has been rocked by a series
of assassinations of senior Iranian nuclear scientists and at least
one instance where a complex and damaging computer virus, called
Stuxnet, was inserted manually into the servers of its nuclear
program. Iranian officials have publicly blamed these attacks on the
Israel’s foreign intelligence agency. But US officials say Iran has
recently concluded that the assassinations and other acts of sabotage
have been orchestrated with the help of Azerbaijan.’

Commenting on military cooperation between Azerbaijan and Israel, the
author writes: `Drone aircraft had been among the $1.6 billion in
weapons purchased by the Azeris. So Iran believes the link is much
more substantial – to the point where they fear Israeli aircraft or
special ops guys could be based on Azeri territory.’
