Iran accused Azerbaijan of conspiring with Israel
For the second time in a week, a senior Iranian official accused the Republic of Azerbaijan of allowing its territory to be used by Israel to plot against Tehran
Nasser Kanaani, the spokesperson for Iran’s Foreign Ministry, said today that Israel intends to use Azerbaijani soil as a platform to threaten Iran’s national security
Mr. Kanaani’s remarks are a response to statements made by Eli Cohen, Israel’s Foreign Minister, during his meeting with Jeyhun Bayramov, Azerbaijan’s Foreign Minister, in Tel Aviv
Two days ago, Jeyhun Bayramov, Azerbaijan’s Foreign Minister, inaugurated his country’s embassy in Tel Aviv during his first official visit to Israel
According to Israeli media, Mr. Cohen told Mr. Bayramov during their meeting that the two countries face similar threats and added that their understanding of threats from Iran is also shared
