Israel utilized covert positions in southern Azerbaijan to conduct intelligence-gathering missions, drone operations, and surveillance during its war with Iran. While CNN exposed details of these secret deployments, the government of Azerbaijan has firmly and repeatedly denied allowing its territory to be used for military strikes against third countries.

The Covert Network Exposed
A comprehensive CNN investigation detailed how Israel built a secret network spanning multiple countries to encircle Iran during the conflict. [1, 5]

Elite Forces Deployed: Several dozen Israeli personnel—including Mossad agents, special operations forces, and the elite heliborne combat and rescue Unit 669—were stationed at multiple points along the Azerbaijan-Iran border. [3, 6, 7]
Proximity to Targets: At least one forward site operated roughly 60 miles (96 kilometers) from the northwestern Iranian city of Tabriz. [6]
Expanded Mission Scope: The units were initially planned as emergency search-and-rescue teams for downed pilots but expanded into a sophisticated electronic and intelligence-gathering hub. [3, 4]
Targeted Assassinations: According to intelligence sources, a drone operation launched directly from Azerbaijani soil was utilized to assassinate Rahman Moghaddam, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) special intelligence operations division. [2]

Fresh Claims and Dynamic Postures [4]
The geopolitical footprint continues to spark localized friction: [8]

The Caspian Sea Route: Hardline Iranian outlets like Raja News report that recent Israeli fighter jets and drone waves entered Iranian airspace utilizing Caspian Sea and Azerbaijani flight corridors. [9]
Broader Regional Bases: Azerbaijan was only one node in a larger Israeli containment web. Parallel covert facilities, logistical hubs, and refueling operations were simultaneously maintained in Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, and Somaliland. [3, 10]

Official Denials from Baku
The Azerbaijani Media Development Agency heavily pushed back against the leaks, labeling them as “pure disinformation” and blatant manipulation intended to stoke regional tensions. Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov previously reassured Tehran that Baku’s airspace and territory would “never” be permitted as a launching pad for hostile foreign actions against neighboring Iran.
