In Tehran, many (almost everyone) I am currently discussing the situation with do not rule out that the recent incident is the work of Israel acting through Baku. This was reported by the prominent Iranian journalist Abbas Juma on his Telegram channel, commenting on the crash of the helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and other senior officials.

“I am in Tehran. Many (almost everyone) I am discussing the situation with are either certain or do not rule out that the incident was the work of Israel acting through Baku. In my comments, I emphasize that this is not an accusation and there is no evidence. It merely reflects the prevailing sentiments in the capital of the Islamic Republic. Here, many almost equate Israel and Azerbaijan,” wrote Juma.
