Tehran has promised retaliation of the commander\u2019s death. It comes after US President Donald Trump ordered an air strike killing Iran\u2019s most powerful military commander and triggering a dramatic escalation in the Middle East.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  After the Iranian commander was killed by the US air operation, social media in Azerbaijan divided into two groups, with one calling Soleimani a hero, and the another labeling him a terrorist.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cLaw and politics have taken a sideline to nationalism [on social media]&quot;, journalist Shamshad Aga wrote on his Facebook.\n<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meydan.tv\/az\/shemshad-agas-post\/\" alt=\"Shemshad Aga&#8217;s Post\" class=\"wp-image-135445\"\/><figcaption>\n    \u201cLaw and politics have taken a sideline to nationalism [on social media].&#8221; &#8211; Shemshad Aga<br \/>\n  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\n  Ilkin Rustamzade, an activist of the Nida youth movement, mentions in his Facebook status about the influence of Iranian propaganda in Azerbaijan.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cThere are many supporters of Iran who dream under the guise of democracy to bring medieval darkness to our country.

Watch carefully.\u201d -Ilkin Rustamzade<br \/>\n  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\n  In Baku, political commentator Shahin Jafarli told the RFE\/RL Azerbaijani Service that since the tension is between Iran and the United States, it wouldn\u2019t have a direct impact on Azerbaijan. But if the conflict grows, it might have some consequences for Azerbaijan as part of the region. He added that, as in the entire region, US diplomatic missions in Azerbaijan will also up its security.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cIf there is a war between the US and Iran, it will influence Azerbaijan. But I personally do not expect this incident to turn into a big battle.,\u201d Jafarli was quoted as saying.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  According to Jafarli, local mourning ceremonies may also be held in Azerbaijan to honor the architect of Iran\u2019s drive to extend its influence across the Middle East. However, he says does not believe that there will be big mass events.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cThe Azerbaijani government will also not allow this.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cAzerbaijan calls on all parties to abstain from violence and to remain committed to strengthening regional security\u201d, Azerbaijan&#8217;s Foreign Ministry stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":135373,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_sitemap_exclude":false,"_sitemap_priority":"","_sitemap_frequency":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-198659","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","infinite-scroll-item","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33","no-featured-image-padding"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
