In a heated exchange between the ambassadors of Iran and Israel in Azerbaijan, diplomatic tensions reached a boiling point over remarks made on a popular social media platform.

According to reports from Ednews, the confrontation unfolded between George Deek, the Israeli ambassador to Baku, and Seyed Abbas Mousavi on the "X" platform.

George Deek accused Iran of being a state sponsor of terrorism and the primary instigator of conflict in the region. He cited Iran's direct attacks on Israel, breaking from its previous use of proxies. Deek's statements were previewed in an upcoming interview with BakuTV.

In response, Seyed Abbas Mousavi dismissed Deek's accusations, declaring that Iran would no longer play the victim and vowed to retaliate against what he referred to as the "illegitimate and spoiled child of the West." Mousavi warned of a robust response to any aggression, asserting support from the Muslim community in Azerbaijan for the Palestinian cause.

The verbal clash highlights the deep-seated animosity between Iran and Israel, with Azerbaijan caught in the crossfire. As tensions persist in the region, the incident underscores the complexities of diplomatic relations in the Middle East.
