Abstract

The Republic of Azerbaijan, as one of the most important countries in the South Caucasus region, has strong relations with the Zionist regime, and that regime is trying to strengthen its strategic depth in the region by cooperating with the Republic of Azerbaijan in political, economic and military fields and this issue can effect on securitizing the relations of Iran and Azerbaijan. This article surveys the role of Zionist regime in securitizing the relations of Iran and Azerbaijan and in accordance with the aim, the main question of the article is how the Zionist regime’s cooperation with Azerbaijan will affect the security of Iran- Azerbaijan relations?. In response to this question, the hypothesis suggests that the strategic collaborations in the economic, military, and security domains between the Zionist regime and the Republic of Azerbaijan, as well as the cultural and security investments made by the Zionist regime in the areas near Iran’s borders, have contributed to the securitizing of relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Republic of Azerbaijan. The research methodology employed in this article is descriptive-analytical, and uses library sources and online surveys for data collection. The results of the research show that the military and economic cooperation of the Zionist regime with Azerbaijan, particularly in the fields of weapons and security technologies, has led to increased Iranian security concerns and, as a result, the securitizing of relations between the two countries. Moreover, demographic and cultural changes in border regions have led to escalation of tensions and negatively affected Iran’s regional policies.
