Azerbaijan has traditionally been part of Persia over 2500 years.
The Azeri's are an Iranic people, who are Shia, though they speak a Turkic language. At university I met an Azeri student named Burhan. They are a good people, who under the influence of the Soviet Union are more secular and cosmopolitan than religious........I shared wine with Burhan, and we talked of worldly things. He was studying international trade under an American professor at Warwick university.
In the 19th century the country was detached from Iran by Imperial Russia.
In the breakup of the Soviet Union, initiated by the International Jews in collaboration with Soviet Jews in 1991, local conflicts surfaced in the Caucasus between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno Karabakh.
It is alleged that Mullah Iran with Russia supported Armenia, whilst Doenme Turkey allied to Israel supported Azerbaijan. Turkey has a linguistic affinity with Azerbaijan, even though most Azerbaijanis are Iranic.
Mullah Iran supported Armenia because it feared the nationalism of an independent Azerbaijan and the possibility that the 25% of its population who are also Azeri might wish to join such an independent strident country, bolstered by its petro-$. Very regressive all this. The mullahs were foolish and should have remained neutral in the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
As it is Azerbaijan is now firmly pro-Israeli and has signed a huge military contract with Israel to receive large quantities of Israeli arms, and especially drones which will be used over Iranian air-space, and more intriguingly AA guns, presumably to shoot down incoming retaliatory Iranian jets and missiles. This is clearly serious, if Azerbaijan or Georgia are used by the Israeli airforce to launch attacks against fabled nuclear weapons sites in Iran, AND in anticipation of this FACT, the defenses of these countries are bolstered by Israel with the appropriate technology......SAMs and AA guns.
The Azerbaijanis have also allowed Israel to use their country to launch spy missions into Iran. Clearly hatred for mullah Iran runs deep in Azerbaijan. One thinks the Azerbaijanis are not to blame for this, but the mullahs of Iran and their meddling clumsy policies in the Caucasus from the 1990's.
What is to be done?
1. Iran needs to work with Russia to neutralize the Israeli/USA presence in Azerbaijan. A lot of hard work.
2. Iran needs to massively bolster its defense spending of a meager 3% of GDP to much higher levels......10% of GDP......in response to the war rhetoric, and events around the area. Clearly Ahmedinejad the Jew and his government will not be able to do this effectively. He serves Israel, whilst he is busy making trips to Zimbabwe and Venezuela .....and Mars (His escape destinations via Deonme Turkey---Nazi like escape hatches developed by International Jews for their puppets)....along with his more worthless speeches.
3. Threats against neighbors by Iran who work with Israel, in retaliation, is a poor strategy to contain Israel and its designs in the region.
4. Greater military aid must be given to Syria, the ally of Iran for 33 years, since its defeat will mean greater focus on an attack against Iran. 30,000 Pasdaran must be dispatched to Syria to bolster the regime, along with greater economic and military aid.
Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and the mullahs must know that Gaddafi lost ALL his wealth of $150 billion invested around the world when his regime was toppled.

Israeli Arms Deal With Azerbaijan Adds to Tensions With Iran
Iran Strengthens Ties With Lebanon as Nations Secure Regional Allies
Israeli defense officials today announced a major arms deal with Azerbaijan, pledging to sell drones and anti-aircraft technology to the nation at a time when a prospective Israeli attack on Iran is on everyone’s minds.
Meanwhile, Lebanon’s Defense Minister is in Tehran today, negotiating with his Iranian counterpart. The two are looking to strengthen security relations amid Lebanese concerns of an Israeli attack, and reflecting Iran’s desire for its own proxy along the Israeli border.
The roles of Azerbaijan and Lebanon as possible allies in the event of an Israel-Iran war are not unique, and reflect how quickly a conflict between the two could escalate into a region-wide war.
