Tensions Rise Over Allegations of Israeli Military Presence in Azerbaijan During Iran Conflict

Recent reports have surfaced claiming that Israel secretly deployed elite troops and commandos to Azerbaijan during a conflict with Iran, allegedly utilizing Azerbaijani territory for operations. Various sources indicate that Israeli forces were involved in clandestine missions not just in Azerbaijan, but also in countries including Iraq, UAE, and Somaliland. In response, Azerbaijani officials have strongly denied these allegations, calling them unfounded and demanding a retraction and apology from media outlets such as CNN for what they describe as disinformation. The situation raises questions about the extent of Israeli military operations in the region amid ongoing tensions with Iran.
