BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 27. As tensions
between the two countries have been escalating, just a while ago,
Iran “warned” that, if Azerbaijan takes any steps against the
Islamic Republic, it will receive a “decisive reaction”.
“The Republic of Azerbaijan should not repeat the mistakes of
Ukraine and Saddam [Hussein] and should know that the Islamic
Republic of Iran, as a powerful country in the region, will never
allow its borders to be endangered,” Brigadier General Alireza
Taneh of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of the Iranian Armed
Forces said.
And today, the treacherous, terroristic attack happened at the
Azerbaijani diplomatic mission in Teheran, followed by one
assassinated and two wounded.
This ones again confirms a continuation of the anti-Azerbaijani
hysteria in the country and the policy of escalation that Iran has
been pursuing for a long time.
An armed attack took place at the Embassy of Azerbaijan in Iran
on January 27, 2023, at about 8:30 (GMT+4). The gunman turned out
to be a man in his 50s, who drove up to the administrative
building, armed with a Kalashnikov automatic rifle.
Earlier reports from the Chief of Tehran police said there were
two children in the car with the gunman, the security camera footage released later
proved the man was alone. He entered the building after briefly
waving hand to the Iranian security guard outside. No attempts were
made to detain the gunman, as he freely entered the embassy. The
man managed to kill head of the security service and wounding two
embassy guards. The shooter was eventually detained. The incident
is currently being investigated.
