"The American newspaper The Washington Post has reported that Iranian authorities planned to assassinate Rabbi Shneor Segal, a prominent member of the Jewish community in Azerbaijan, in early 2025... The significance of the plot goes far beyond an isolated terrorist incident. Its timing and nature suggest it was designed not only to damage Israeli-Azerbaijani relations but also to sabotage the recent efforts to normalize ties between Baku and Tehran," according to the Azerbaijani English-language website Azernews.

"The professionalism and vigilance of Azerbaijani security agencies once again demonstrated that the Jewish community in Azerbaijan remains safe, living without fear or repression... This failed plot follows a pattern. It echoes past Iranian attempts to export terror abroad using local proxies, including previous plans targeting Israeli and Jewish sites in Azerbaijan... The rabbi plot appears to be part of a wider, coordinated effort to create friction where peace is being carefully rebuilt," Azernews added.
