Personally, I thought the Chinese government would use the US attack on Iran as a pretext to attack Taiwan. But China has remained very quiet.

Azerbaijan absolutely should not retaliate against Iran. On the contrary, it should help Iran. For now, a weak Shiite Iran is less harmful than barbaric Israel and the USA.

Personally, I think the missiles fired at Turkey, Azerbaijan, and some Arab countries were launched from Iranian airspace by Israeli aircraft. as air lora rockets.

Similarly, I believe some of the unmanned kamikaze drones may have been launched by the USA or Israel to open new fronts in the war or to put Iran in a difficult position.

The commander of US Central Command explicitly stated that the "Lucas" drone was a copy of the Iranian Shahed drone. After this drone exploded, no one can tell whether it was a Lucas or a Shahed.

The Taiwan problem will be sloved in peace. War is not necessuary.
There will be other way to support Iran.

In Mr. Kaner Kurt's latest "Conversation with Experts" video, the question was raised: if the Iran-USA war drags on, would this negatively impact the transfer of our EF-2000 aircraft from Qatar? Mr. Selçuk Erkan stated that he foresaw a delay.

I didn't think the Chinese government's attack on Taiwan was to help Iran.

I don't think the Taiwan issue can be resolved peacefully, especially as long as Japan is involved!

That is possible, once Japan is involved, Taiwan has no need to become a battlefield.

This Indian journalist who recently escaped from Israel tells us what no western msm will:

English Transcript:

“When a missile strikes, it does not differentiate between whether you are Indian or Israeli (Indians face racism in Israel). It’s just rhetoric that bunkers protect you. I saw people dying in 100-foot-deep bunkers, and they (Israelis) don’t tell you the facts. Press freedom in India is much better than in Israel. We are thankful to the Indian government, it provides details. In Israel, the government does not tell you anything at all. You cannot film the dead bodies, and you cannot visit hospitals. When an incident takes place, we are not given the details of the location. The next day, when we visit the site, we are told, “There was only one casualty,” but a local told us, “There were four houses, and everyone died,” which shows there was a major incident.

We are told Israel has robust technology. However, let me tell you that one day early in the morning there were no sirens, and missiles struck without any warning. The technology fails, and it is hard to determine when drones and missiles will strike. You must have heard by now that Iran targeted almost every U.S. embassy in the Middle East, and maybe they tried targeting it in Tel Aviv too. We wouldn’t have survived there.”

(He was trapped in Israel from February 28 to March 6.)

You are likely aware that millions of Azerbaijani Turks live in northeastern Iran. If the ayatollahs in Tehran lose control of the country and general chaos reigns in Iran, I believe Baku will be forced to act under public pressure.

I don't think Baku will react to Iran's actions in any overly inadequate way because of the incident in Nakhchivan.
Since the Iranian military was given the right to act on the ground on its own initiative after Khamenei's death, the strike on our airport may not have been carried out on direct orders from Tehran.

However, official Tehran remains silent, refusing to respond to demands for an explanation and apology. Yesterday, Aliyev expressed bewilderment in his speech: "How is it possible that I am the only head of state who, after Khamenei's death, visited the Iranian embassy and offered condolences to the Iranians, and then the next day they attacked our territory?"

He has already ordered the army to be put on high alert, which includes calling up conscripts from the reserve, taking up positions, and so on. Yesterday, the closure of southern airspace and border crossings with Iran was announced.

This is what I know from local news sources.
What will happen next is still unclear.

And here's something else.


Iranian regime would rather fight its muslim neighbors due to a deep seated inferiority complex than actually have good relations with them.
The dominance of the Ottoman Empire and other Turkic empires before it for hundreds of years in the ME and Caucaus have led to certain countries and people in the region attract selfdestructive traits due to inferiority complexes that have developed over those hundreds of years.

They will tell you its because they are "shia" yet Azerbaijan has not the same issues with other ME countries, might be because Azerbaijan has not funded shia deathsquads over the last decades to kill as man sunni muslims as possible in other countries in the region.

The best solution to this idiotic "war" for the rest of the region is both Israel and Iran being severly weakened.

I do not know why people have this idea that China will start a war against Taiwan to get it back, Taiwan will slowly but surely submit to China on its own accord with time.

At first they will do so with special rights and privileges and slowly those rights and privileges will be taken away as they become a prober part of China.

Taiwans importance to the west is waining by the years. In 5 years it will be less important than it was now and 10-15 years no one in Washington will even pick up the phone when they call.

If the US was serious about Taiwan they would sell them F-35s, but they won't and the Taiwanese government knows why.

Taiwan will get is own "one country, two systems" agreement and just like with HK China will fully absorb Taiwan when they can and just like with HK the outcry will stop after 5 minutes.

BBC reporter in Doha:

"I feel like I've used the word unpredictable so much in last week, but when I'm preparing to let you know that the Iranian president has apologised to his neighbours and said no more attacks, and then you hear a siren moments later, I think it's a real example of that unpredictability in action," she says.


So, what stops tankers staying in territorial waters of Gulf countries to exit the Gulf without risk of being attacked?

Has Israel announced any causalties? Or are we to believe hits like this don't take out at least half the squad manning and operating that Iron Dome battery?
That is from last year.

-
They do not really announce casualties. Iron Dome is pretty autonomous; don't need to have soldiers close by during launch. Who knows where the command center of the battery is.

well good to know, but having a autonomous system slapped right in the middle of civilian houses is also a hilarious irony.

Eh, unlike other systems like mortars, BM launchers etc in the city which are targets; GBAD is defensive in nature. This video should be close to an army facility in the capital, or was it the shin bet HQ; unsure. HQs are in cities, it's normal, expected. Cost of war for both sides. That girls school US hit in the first day was right next to an irgc hq as well.

"...If the ayatollahs in Tehran lose control of the country and general chaos reigns in Iran, I believe Baku will be forced to act under public pressure."
I didn't write this yesterday for rhetoric. Many, especially in the West, believe that Azerbaijan has an authoritarian government and that public opinion is irrelevant. In reality, this is largely propaganda by our critics, aimed at putting pressure on us. The reality is far from simple. You probably remember the incident that occurred in July 2020 on the border with Armenia (outside Karabakh), when Armenians suddenly attacked our military positions, killing our soldiers, officers, and one of our generals. After this battle, the next day, 200,000 outraged young people came to parliament and demanded that the authorities punish Armenia for this insolence. Aliyev went on television and declared that the government had received the people's message, and Armenia would receive a response from our army.
Two months later, the war began.

The ayatollahs supported Armenia and Armenian separatists for 30 years. They were convinced that if Azerbaijan succeeded in resolving the Karabakh issue, the next issue it would have to resolve would be the problem of Southern Azerbaijan.

War is raging in Iran, and it's unclear when and how it will end. Therefore, it's difficult to say anything definitive.
I'd like to point out that I've been interested in this topic for a long time, ever since the Shah's time.

Well, we'll just have to watch how things unfold.

Has Iran backed Azerbaiyan or Armenia during the war between both?

They provided rhetorical support, as well as token financial. They also invaded the border for a few hours during 2020 war while Armenians were retreating to stop Azerbaijanis chasing. Between the two wars they allowed Indian shipments of weapons to pass through their territory as well.
