Iran supports Armenia despite Yerevan’s close relations with Western countries

The Jerusalem Post: "Iran has armed Armenia in the past and continues to operate through Armenia, supporting its narrative regarding the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict. One possible reason for this support of Armenia’s narrative is Azerbaijan’s relations with Israel, which Iran refers to as the “little Satan” and has long opposed... It is strange to see how Iran continues to support Armenia, despite Armenia’s open and close relations with Western countries, yet continues to chastise Azerbaijan for not aligning with its anti-Israel stance."

A policy paper by the BESA think tank, which highlights Azerbaijan’s special role as a pillar of Israel’s regional security architecture, cited Globes, noting: "During the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia, Israel sided with Azerbaijan, while Iran supported Armenia."
