Time to deal with Irans clandestine operations in Azerbaijan
On February 21, Azerbaijani counterintelligence services arrested Iranian agents plotting terrorist attacks against Israeli diplomats and prominent members of the Jewish community. This is the second such cell to have been intercepted since the beginning of the year.These arrests indicate the heightened level of Tehrans terrorist activity aimed at Azerbaijan. Relations between Baku and Tehran in recent times have been steadily deteriorating, mainly due to developing ties between Azerbaijan and the U.S. and NATO. This Iranian pressure against Baku warrants a firmer response by the U.S. and the West. Posted by: ryuge 2012-02-25 |
