Iranian media replied to the defense ministers of Israel and Azerbaijan working together by posting anti-Semitic caricatures of the President of Azerbaijan. "Baku intends to increase pressure on Iran with Israel's assistance," it stated.

A cartoon on the front page of the Iranian newspaper "Javan," which is run by the son of Ayatollah Hossein Mazakheri from Isfahan, showed Ilham Aliyev, the President of Azerbaijan, as a stereotypical Jew with a large hooked nose, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu standing behind him. Iran responded to a phone discussion between the defense ministers of Israel and Azerbaijan by drawing the cartoon included in the article "Tel Aviv's Trap for Baku."

According to the report, despite all the efforts made by the Iranian authorities to investigate the incident, the incident with the attack on the embassy in Tehran was exaggerated, casting a crime motivated by personal grievances as a Holocaust-scale tragedy. Additionally, it alluded to the incident at the Azeri embassy in Tehran last month, which led Baku to halt its diplomatic operations there. Following the event, this week saw several arrests related to the purported Iranian espionage network.

According to a report, when Israeli spies pose as Jewish businesspeople and enter the nation, no one in Azerbaijan bothers them, and hundreds of individuals are detained in Baku on bogus charges of spying for Iran. Additionally, it was said that Baku aims to increase pressure on Iran and persuade it to accept the Zangazur corridor with the aid of Israel. "However, the security of Azerbaijan will not be ensured by the presence of Zionists," the publication added.

Other Iranian media, particularly "Farda," which is connected to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, have already reprinted the caricature and the article.
