The activity of the Iranian army on the border with Azerbaijan - whether in the form of exercises or "surprise military inspections" - serves one purpose: to influence Baku.

Axar.az reports that David Arutyunov, an expert on defense policy, said these words in his statement to the Armenian media about the sudden arrival of Iranian generals near the border of Azerbaijan and Armenia.

According to Arutyunov, as soon as Iran feels pressure from Azerbaijan against Armenia, it resorts to military threats. The expert cited the flight of Iranian military planes near the border of Azerbaijan as the latest example.

According to Arutyunov, from a global point of view, the signing of the agreement with Saudi Arabia is an additional incentive for Iran to become more active in the South Caucasus. Thus, the melting of the ice between Tehran and Riyadh frees Iran's significant diplomatic, political, and military resources and causes them to be concentrated in other regions.
