Especially in the conditions of tension in the relations between Iran and Azerbaijan, Iran attaches importance to the security of the borders with this country. At the same time, the Iranian side is concerned about the fact that an Israeli presence has been established on the Azerbaijani side of the border, which can create a threat for Iran at any time and turn the territory of Azerbaijan into a springboard.
