Attacks on embassies in any country in the world always indicate either the weakness of the local authorities that failed to prevent attacks and provocations of any extremist organizations, or the dissatisfaction of the local authorities with the policy of the country whose embassy was attacked, candidate of political sciences, Israeli political strategist Yuri Bocharov told Report.
"In the case of Iran, we see both of these factors at the same time. The authorities are trying to control the discontent of their own people by force of repression and weapons. And such aggression always leads to the emergence of extremist groups from among the same population. On the other hand, the Iranian leadership does not hide its dissatisfaction with the policies of Azerbaijan. And most importantly, there is the jealousy because of the economic and political successes of Azerbaijan, which lead to the prosperity of the republic," Bocharov said.
According to him, Iran has long fallen out of the legal structure of the world community.
“Iran has long been ignoring the international norms, acts and treaties. This is also evidenced by the slowdown of the 'nuclear deal' and agreements with both the European Union and the United States. In all cases, the observance of international law by the Iranian leadership proceeds only from personal interests and goals. If it is beneficial for them, they comply, if not, they actually 'spit' on the law, motivating this either by the 'will of the Almighty' in their interpretation, or by the interests of the nation - that is, their personal interests," the expert said.
He noted that based on international law, which Iran does not want to comply with, this country is naturally responsible for everything that happens within its borders, because this is its sovereign territory, which it controls both with its laws and law enforcement forces and the army.
"Today, Iran, having clearly not agreed with Azerbaijan on its interest and benefit from plans on the political and economic issue of normalizing Azerbaijani-Armenian relations, began to simply blackmail Azerbaijan, either by arming Armenia or provoking tension on the border with Azerbaijan," Bocharov said.
He stressed with regret that today many of the powers are not interested in ending this confrontation.
"However, as the results of the 44-day liberation war and the subsequent successes of the republic showed, Azerbaijan has enough strength and capabilities to resist any aggression and provocations today," the political strategist concluded.
