"The trilateral dynamic involving the U.S., Israel, and Azerbaijan adds further complexity. Tehran sees this as a mounting pressure tactic aimed at its northern front. Despite Baku’s insistence that its Israeli ties are not aimed at any neighbor, Iran’s apprehensions are legitimate—especially amid concerns that Azerbaijani territory could be used for intelligence operations targeting Iran," writes Tehran Times, Iran’s oldest English-language newspaper affiliated with the government.

"Given these considerations, Tehran understands the importance of stable, balanced ties with Azerbaijan—particularly in light of the positive trajectory seen during Pezeshkian’s visit and the signed strategic agreements. Shared economic, technological, and energy interests offer both countries a path toward deeper trust and more effective crisis management, especially in light of Baku’s ties with Israel," the newspaper notes.
