Unveiling Iran's Motives in arming Armenia - OPINION

Politics 11:00 08.04.2024

Recent reports have shed light on the influx of cargo planes operated by the Iranian army shuttling between Tehran and Yerevan, transporting weapons from Iran to Armenia. This development raises questions about Iran's intentions and objectives behind escalating its activities in the region.

Political scientist Natig Miri, in his statement to Ednews, emphasized that the weapon transfers from Iran to Armenia should not be perceived as isolated incidents but rather as part of a broader anti-Azerbaijani strategy. Miri highlighted Iran's consistent role in supporting Armenia and its involvement in supplying weapons, including drones, to Armenia. He suggested that this support is linked to a larger geopolitical landscape, involving collaboration between France and Iran.

Miri underscored that these actions carry implications beyond mere weapon transfers, pointing to pressures on Azerbaijan through various channels, including messages hinting at potential risks to Israel's diplomatic corps in Azerbaijan. This, he believes, is indicative of a meticulously planned and sustained effort.

In light of these developments, it appears that Iran's antagonistic stance toward Azerbaijan persists unabated, signaling a protracted and calculated strategy that may endure in the foreseeable future.
