According to CNN, Israel has deployed commandos and intelligence units to Azerbaijan to conduct operations against Iran during Operation Roaring Lion. The Israeli forces, operating from southern Azerbaijan, were positioned about 60 kilometers from Tabriz, Iran, which was targeted by Israeli airstrikes. The contingent included special forces and Mossad operatives, initially tasked with potential rescue operations but later expanding their role to include intelligence-gathering and drone operations. This deployment is part of a broader strategy, with Israeli forces also suspected to be stationed in Iraq, the UAE, and Somaliland, thereby enhancing military capabilities against Iran. In response to these reports, the Azerbaijani Embassy in Washington firmly rejected claims regarding the use of its territory for operations against third countries. The situation underscores the complex geopolitical dynamics in the region, particularly concerning Iran and its neighboring states.
