“Among the targets were the oil pipeline “Baku-Tbilisi-Dzhehan” (BTC), the Embassy of Israel in Azerbaijan, the Ashkenazi synagogue and the leader of the ancient Jewish community in Azerbaijan,” the statement said, reports Srna.
Iran did not comment on this announcement.
The BTC pipeline goes through Georgia and Turkey and transports oil to Europe, and at the same time covers a third of Israel’s oil imports.
Any damage to its infrastructure could further raise global energy prices as the war in the Middle East enters its second week.
Azerbaijan promised to retaliate for the incursion of four Iranian drones in the Nakhchivan region, where four people were injured and the airport infrastructure was damaged.
Iran has denied sending drones to Azerbaijan.
