My take on the need for pressure from the neighboring countries to squeeze the regime in Iran:
Dissident Ahmad Hashemi concurred: “Squeezing Iran requires immediate neighbors, and Azerbaijan is an immediate neighbor willing to help. Azerbaijan holds major leverage over Iran. First of all, Azerbaijan is Iran’s gateway to Europe. Also, Iran has a significant Azerbaijani population, which is another lever Azerbaijan has against the regime in Tehran. Another leverage is Azerbaijan’s ties with Israel, which permit them to be in the strategic position that they are in. For this reason, Azerbaijan is an important ally in dismantling the Iranian regime, and this geopolitical asset needs to be taken seriously and exploited in countering the Iranian regime.”
