Right wing Israel
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Fri Apr 13, 2012 07:44 AM PDTgroups are probably behind pushing unwise Azarbayjan politicians. Behavior of republic of Azarbayjan proves they should not be independent. First they got in a war with Armenia; now are making trouble for Iran.
I said before and will say again: it needs to be divided between Iran and Armenia. There was never an independent Azarbayjan like there was Armenia. It is not viable as a nation and hence becomes a puppet.
Better go back to the way things were for 1000s of years. When it happens there will be real peace again. It will happen when West gets tired of meddling in ME and packs up and goes home.

Hope usa or Israel can use that windex to clean up the mess (IRRI)they left behind.

Lets analyze
by choghok on Fri Apr 13, 2012 06:35 AM PDTThere are 2 reasonable scenarios:
1. This is a false news made to spread misinformation and make it IRI focus to wrong place and worsen its ties to its northern neighbour.
2. The news is true and Americans are leaking so that to stop Israelis from doing this since they do not share Isralis idea.
The question is why would Azerbaijan allow Israel strike a big country next to it. What
would Azerbaijan expect IRI to do next? Just sit and wait for it to be hit with
no response? Wouldn't the logical step for IRI to strike Azerbaijan?
I guess that 1. is closer to truth than 2.
Azarbayjan
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Fri Apr 13, 2012 04:05 AM PDTIs run by idiots who are neither democratic nor intelligent. The products of Soviet propaganda they have plans to grab parts of Iran. The result would be the rightful dissolution of their tiny banana republic.
The fate of Azarbayjan is tied to reunification with Iran. The smart people know it. Without Iran they will cease to exist and become a part of Greater Armenia.

If history is our guide and/or ask most people with common sense you will find a whole different situation then the wishful thinking of the above.

by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on Thu Apr 12, 2012 06:09 PM PDTUnlikely to happen because it would be a gift to Russia & EU vs the US. To Give the IRI a right to defend itself and retake lands that determine access of all the caspian reserves to the west, in the process of self defense. Lands which are not recognized by the UN as countries because they are classed former soviet republics that were taken from Iran by force, unlawfully and with no independent history. Its so stupid which is why I say its unlikely Israel could pull off such a flawed plan which is so against the USA and infavor of EU/Russia at US expense. We do know the USA & IRI won't ever be able to work directly together. How the table of History turns, 60 years ago the USA supported the Shah of Irans policy to push the Soviets out of northern iran, the usa followed his lead and helped him. Now in a new era, Russians will be given an opportunity to advance by helping the IRI make gains with self defense, which because they are anti-usa will serve russia more. Given that the west can't even hold basic dialogue with the IRI, to have an opportunity for the IRI to regain its own, once soviet occupied territory, indebted to russia for its help is a strange and unexpected twist. That is not a position that the US would thoughtfully put itself in with the IRI. The USA can't even contain the IRI with their current flawed policy, now they plan on giving a critical US land route to the IRI, which would use it to serve Russia at the expense of the US? In all likelyhood if Israel attacked from Azarbaijan the consequences would be too complex and far reaching to figure out.

Couldn't watch the video....
by Bavafa on Thu Apr 12, 2012 02:11 PM PDTBut I rather think Azarbaijan is playing a deadly game for a short gain.
If the reports turn out to be true, Iran-Israel conflict will not be forever, but their neighboring with Iran will be.
