"This is not the first time that the Iranian state has committed an act of terror against Azerbaijan and Azerbaijanis. We all remember too well that the Embassy of Azerbaijan in Tehran was subjected to a terrorist act some time ago," President Ilham Aliyev said during a meeting of the Security Council.

Axar.az informs the ehad of the state said that a person instructed by the Iranian special services attacked the embassy and committed a bloody act of terror against Azerbaijani citizens. As a result, one citizen was killed and another was seriously injured. I should also note that an unarmed representative of the Azerbaijani special services neutralized the terrorist, who was armed with a Kalashnikov assault rifle, a Molotov cocktail, and an axe. We had no doubt then either that the perpetrator was the Iranian state—because that act of terror lasted about 40 minutes, both inside and around the embassy. During those 40 minutes, not a single security or police representative approached the embassy. It was clear that this act of terror was masterminded at the highest levels of the Iranian state in order to intimidate Azerbaijan and carry out dirty deeds against Azerbaijan.
