Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian expressed concern about the provocations of the Israeli regime near the border of Iran and Azerbaijan, Tasnim reported.

According to him, Israel used the aggravation of tensions between Azerbaijan and Armenia over Nagorno-Karabakh to establish its presence in some parts of Azerbaijan.

He called these efforts unsuccessful.

The latest military exercises on the territory of Iran near the borders of Azerbaijan are a warning to the Zionists, the high-ranking diplomat recalled.

The Islamic Republic has always declared its position, calling the Israeli regime illegitimate, he added.
