''US-based Iranian analyst: Iran is unlikely to take any action against Azerbaijan unless Baku allows its territory to be used for attacks against Iran''

"Alireza Nader, Iran analyst at the RAND Corporation’s Washington Office believes that the Iranian regime’s distrust of Azerbaijan is deep-rooted. 

“The Azerbaijan’s government is secular, though most of the population is Shi’a. Iran is of course a Shi’a theocracy. In addition, millions of Iranians are ethnic Azeris; this population is often restive, as was demonstrated by recent protests over Iran’s drying Lake Urumia."
