Gulf International Forum: The Trump administration will put its blessing on a deeper Azerbaijan-Israel partnership against Iran

"Azerbaijan is clearly in favor of an alliance with Israel, particularly in the security field, and such an alliance with the involvement of the United States could yield both military and political benefits for Baku. In its turn, the Trump administration will undoubtedly put its blessing on a deeper Azerbaijan-Israel partnership against the Iranian factor, as in the case of the recent purchase by Azerbaijani State Oil Company (SOCAR) of a 10% stake in Israel’s Tamar gas field near Haifa. The possibility of a US-Israeli joint operation against Iran raises the specter of escalation and increased regional instability. Therefore, Israel and America’s efforts to shore up regional strength by courting Azerbaijan is an attempt to minimize the risks of a future conflict spiraling out of control," according to the Washington-based think tank Gulf International Forum.
