Establishment of Zangezur corridor a 'red line' for Iran: MP
2024-09-08
[IRNA] "It is clear that issues related to the geopolitical developments surrounding the Zangezur Corridor are not in the interest of regional countries, and Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
vehemently opposes this matter," Ebrahim Azizi, Chairman of the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of the Iranian Parliament, said on Saturday.

He made the comment after Russia expressed its support for Azerbaijan's demand to establish unimpeded access to Nakhchivan by opening the Zangezur Corridor through Armenia. The corridor would connect Azerbaijan's western regions directly to the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic.

The scheme has raised concerns in Iran as it would disrupt the historical transit route between Iran and Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
via Armenia.

Azizi suggested that there are underlying motives behind the ''fake corridor'' aimed at diminishing Iran's military and political power in the region.

He pointed out that Supreme Fearless Leader of the Islamic Revolution
...Iran's doddering head theocrat...
Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei
...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini...>
has made it clear in discussion with both Russian and Ottoman Turkish leaders that Iran is strongly opposed to any geopolitical changes in the Caucasus.

"We have repeatedly communicated through various channels to regional countries that this corridor is a red line for Iran, and any changes or actions regarding it will be met with a serious and firm response from Iran."

#1  The piquant fact here is that Azeris are Shia who told the ayatollahs to go f*ck a chicken.
