Israeli Drone Caught Spying on Iran ‘Took Off from Nakhijevan’

Tehran released the photo of an Israeli Hermes 450 drone it downed on Aug. 23

NAKHIJEVAN, Azerbaijan—An Israeli spy drone which Iran recently downed on its way to one of the Iranian nuclear site had taken off from an air base in Azerbaijan’s Nakhchivan (Nakhijevan) exclave, sources say.

The anonymous sources said the Hermes drone, which was taken down by Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) forces on Aug. 23 after 300 kilometers of flight, was bound for the Natanz enrichment facility in central Iran.

The revelation about the Israeli drone’s launch site indicates Baku’s involvement in the spying mission, the unnamed sources claimed.

The stealth spy drone was targeted by a surface-to-air missile before it reached the strategic location.

Iran’s nuclear facilities have been a regular target for espionage activities by US and Israeli intelligence services, which have at times used drones for this purpose.

Azeri officials continue to claim that they will never allow their country to be used as a launch pad against Iran, but the Baku government has been serving the Israeli government’s interests in the region.

Israel’s strategic Haifa port receives nearly 40 percent of its oil needs from the Baku-Ceyhan pipeline cutting across Azerbaijan.

In another sign of Azerbaijan’s hostility against the Islamic Republic, a separatist cell calling itself “World Azerbaijanis Congress” recently held an anti-Iran forum in Baku.

The World Azerbaijanis Congress, which was founded in the United States in 1997, seeks the separation of Iran’s northwestern provinces of East and West Azerbaijan and their unification with the neighboring Republic of Azerbaijan.

    If the artificial state of Azerbaijan claims its territories are not used by Israel, and the US by extension, to spy over Iran when this unmanned Israeli drone was launched from the Azerbaijani-occupied ancient Armenian province of Nakhichevan, then Azerbaijan is either lying or claiming that Nakhichevan is NOT a territory of Azerbaijan which would be the only factual statement ever coming from the criminal Azerbaijani fake leadership.

    Whatever the reason, it should be crystal clear to the Iranians that this fabricated nation of pseudo-Turkish Azerbaijani mutts can not be trusted and help further solidify the close relationship between Iran and Armenia. Iranians must realize that some of the arch-enemies of Iran are also the enemies of the Armenians and that it will be in their interest, in the long run, to not only support the liberation of the ancient Armenian province of Artsakh, falsely known as Karabakh, but also to help the Armenians liberate Nakhichevan.

    This should be very important to Iran because it will practically remove the Turkish presence from the South Caucasus and it will also isolate and disconnect the artificial state of Azerbaijan from the northwestern territory of Iran, bordering Nakhichevan, which the Azerbaijani separatist terrorists and hooligans call south Azerbaijan.

    Iran and Azerbaijan have been playing this LOVE AND HATE ploy for centuries.
    .
    Azeris have big influence in running of Iran nowadays. They are each other’s COUSINS.
    .
    DO NOT TRUST and do not take sides. When they get into the BED at night, all is forgiven and forgotten.
    .
    Iranians like and TRUST Armenians much more than any other neighbour. However, do not get fooled by that and do not capitalise on that too much.
    .
    During MASHRUTIAT Armenia’s YEPREM KHAN saved Iran’s face. Yeprem Khan was much more trusted by IRANIANS than Turkish Satar Khan. Yeprem Khan gave his life to save Iran.
    Who remembers?

      Azerbaijan is a made-up name and it does NOT refer to a unique nation. It is the name of a place in ancient Persia and has nothing to do with the fabricated Azerbaijani nation. The name of this location in ancient Persia is called “Azer Padegan”, which translates to Fortress of Fire, and the name was stolen and given to a group of people formed from the mix of ancient Persians with the invading Turkish tribes who adopted the Turkish language.

      When the artificial state of Azerbaijan, which never existed in the history of mankind, was invented in 1918, it was deliberately given the name Azerbaijan to fool and brainwash its people to believe that the northwestern region of Iran with the same name (Iranian provinces of eastern and western Azerbaijan) are actually part of this newly-invented artificial Azerbaijani republic. This is the reason why the Azerbaijani separatist terrorists call the northwestern region of Iran as south Azerbaijan, implying that the artificial Azerbaijani republic is northern Azerbaijan.

      There are NO Azerbaijanis in Iran but only Turkish-speaking Persians falsely known as Azerbaijanis. These people are only indigenous to the south of the Aras River (northwestern Iran) and are NOT natives of the south Caucasus which is the region north of the Aras River.

      Basically, neither the Turks nor the pseudo-Turkish Azerbaijanis are indigenous to the regions where they have established their illegal and artificial republics respectively through mass-extermination, genocide and depopulation of the indigenous peoples of these lands.

    These so called East andf West Azerbaijanis are genetically all Iranian. The Iranian government better capitalize on that and invest in some schooling and Iranian Culture or they will loose a great part of their territories to a myth.

    Iran better quickly learn who its real friends are in the region instead of blindly hugging any nation merely on the basis of Islamic commonality. Today Iran’s national security is being threatened by as many if not more nations that happen to be Islamic rather than non Islamic nations. Iran should consider Turkey and Azerbaboonjan at or near the top of that list.

    Compliance status

    We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.

    To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

    This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

    Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

    If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

    Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

    Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

    1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

      These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

    2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.

      Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

    Additional UI, design, and readability adjustments

    1. Font adjustments – users, can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more.
    2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds, with over 7 different coloring options.
    3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions.
    4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize important elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only.
    5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly.
    6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine that is linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others.
    7. Additional functions – we provide users the option to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions.

    Browser and assistive technology compatibility

    We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.

    Notes, comments, and feedback

    Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
