Who’s Running Iran (for Now)? – PJ Media

I’m starting to think of the regime Iranians who are left to do damage in that country as a malevolent version of Pinkie and the Brain.

Only where the answer would normally be ‘Same thing we do every night, Pinkie – try to take over the world’…





…the remnants that haven’t been bombed back into the Stone Age and who still have weapons at their disposal are doing the same thing every night, alright – trying to find regional neighbors they haven’t bombed, droned, or lobbed missiles at yet, and make sure they get a good couple of licks in.

As a strategy, when you don’t have a country in the world willing to speak up for you and could really use one right about now, this escapes me.

For instance, the little Muslim country of Azerbaijan, with a population of about 10.2 million.

Here was their president yesterday, making a #sadz in communion with the losses suffered by the Iranians.

Here’s the Azerbaijani Nakhchivan Airport this afternoon, courtesy of those same Iranians everyone felt bad for yesterday.

BADDA-BOOM

YOICKS

Suicide drones among friends do not foster good relations.





One would think everyone knew that, but it’s apparently skipped some people’s notice.

Thankfully, no one was killed in that attack, but a couple of people were injured. The airport took a beating…

…One drone crashed into the terminal building of the airport in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, while another fell near a school in the village of Shekarabad, Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry said.

Two civilians were injured.

“This attack on the territory of Azerbaijan contradicts the norms and principles of international law and contributes to escalating tensions in the region. […] The Azerbaijani side reserves the right to take appropriate retaliatory measures,” the Foreign Ministry said.

…as did the formerly cozy relationship.

The Azerbaijani president is feeling especially aggrieved because he’d just helped the Iranians with evacuations in Lebanon when they’d asked for assistance.





…“This morning the Iranian deputy foreign minister called asking for Azerbaijan’s help to evacuate the remaining staff from their embassy in Lebanon because they could not do it themselves. I immediately ordered assistance and a plane to be sent. They even offered to pay, but I said it was not necessary.” 

“And in return we get an attack on Nakhchivan carried out in such a dirty, cowardly and unmanly way. This stain will never be erased from their faces.”

President Ilham Aliyev is now pissed off so badly that he’s threatening to invade his ungrateful, backstabbing neighbors.

Iran’s swearing they didn’t have anything to do with it. Then again, it’s not like no one’s ever heard that before. The Iranian deputy foreign minister’s line was a howler if you think about it.

And then he blamed Israel for using a drone to attack the Azerbaijanis. 

Nobody’s fallin’ for the Jewish drone in the tailpipe joke.

…Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi ‌denied Tehran had targeted Nakhchivan.

“We do not attack our neighbouring countries,” he told Azerbaijani outlet AnewZ.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused Israel of launching the attack to harm Tehran’s relationship with its northern neighbour.

In a phone call with his Azerbaijani counterpart Jeyhun Bayramov, Araghchi “denied that Iran fired any projectiles” at Azerbaijan. He also condemned “the role of the Israeli regime in such attacks in order to divert public opinion and destroy Iran’s good relations with its neighbours“, according to a statement from Iran’s foreign ministry.

The Foreign Ministry earlier demanded that Iran “clarify the matter in the shortest possible time, ‌provide an explanation and take the necessary urgent measures to prevent such incidents from recurring in the future”, adding that the incident “contributes to increased tensions in the region”.

It handed a note of protest to the Iranian ambassador to Azerbaijan.

Azerbaijan and Iran already have tense relations over Baku’s growing economic, energy and military ties to NATO member Turkey and Israel, and the escalating US-Iran war risks touching off violence between the neighbours.





There’s really nothing to do but add the country to the list of…what was that again?

‘Neighbouring countries Iran does not attack,’ but still did.

– 🇯🇴 Jordan

– 🇮🇶 Iraq

– 🇧🇭 Bahrain

– 🇴🇲 Oman

– 🇸🇾 Syria

– 🇨🇾 Cyprus

– 🇫🇷 France (Camp de la Paix, UAE)

– 🇮🇹 Italy (NATO camp at Ali Al-Salem Base)

– 🇬🇧 United Kingdom (Akrotiri, Cyprus)

– 🇹🇷 Turkey

President Aliyev is now receiving calls of support from Iran’s neighbors.

President Sheikh Mohamed on Thursday condemned Iran’s attack on Azerbaijani territory in a phone call with the country’s leader.

Sheikh Mohamed affirmed the UAE’s solidarity in talks with President Ilham Aliyev, in which both men underlined the implications of military escalation.

Azerbaijan said four Iranian drones had crossed its border on Thursday to carry out an attack in the Nakhchivan exclave, resulting in four injuries.

Mr Aliyev had ordered his armed forces to “prepare and implement appropriate retaliatory measures”. Iran subsequently denied responsibility for the strike.

Sheikh Mohamed underlined the UAE’s solidarity with Azerbaijan over the measures it is taking to protect its security and territorial integrity.





And it sure sounds as if the Iranians have finally, after all these years, run damn near everyone off.

…Shavkat Mirziyoyev, President of Uzbekistan, also condemned the attacks from Iran, in a call with the UAE President. Christopher Luxon, Prime Minister of New Zealand, also called Sheikh Mohamed to say Iran’s actions were a breach of international law and the UN Charter.

Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, held phone calls with Wang Yi, China’s Foreign Minister; Masrour Barzani, Prime Minister of Iraqi Kurdistan; Sugiono, Foreign Minister of Indonesia; Mexico’s Secretary of Foreign Affairs Juan Ramon de la Fuente; Youssef Raggi, Lebanon’s Foreign Minister; Ronald Lamola, Minister of International Relations and Co-operation for South Africa; and Nikos Dendias, the Greek Minister of National Defence.

From our point of view, that strategy works fine.
