Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed its opinion on threatening from Iran's Ambassador to Azerbaijan, Abbas Mousavi, to Israeli Ambassador to Azerbaijan, George Deek, for sharing about Tabriz.

Joshua Zarka, deputy of the strategic affairs department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Israel, shared his opinion on social networks. He reacted to the statement made by the Ambassador of Iran to Azerbaijan about the publication of the photo of the book about Tabriz by the Ambassador of Israel. "Iran threatens to abduct Swedish citizens because of the arrest of a terrorist. Iran's ambassador to Azerbaijan threatens our ambassador with reading a book. This regime brought the country and its people, including Tabriz, to the worst level and created conflicts with everyone," Joshua Zarka wrote.

On July 19, Caucasus Watch reported that Ali Khamenei, Iran's religious leader, expressed his concern about the possibility of closing the Armenian-Iranian border on his Twitter page. "We are happy that Karabakh returned to Azerbaijan. However, if there is a policy of closing the Iranian-Armenian border, Iran will oppose it. This is because this border has been a communication route for thousands of years," stated Khamenei. On the same day, Iran's religious leader wrote in a threatening tone on his Twitter account, referring to the opening of the "Zangazur corridor": "The Islamic Republic will not tolerate policies or plans that will lead to the closure of the Iran-Armenia border."

After Khamenei’s remarks, George Deek, Israeli Ambassador in Azerbaijan, shared about the book "Magical Tales of Tabriz," which tells about the history and art of Tabriz, the historical city of Azerbaijan. An Israeli diplomat wrote on Twitter: "I am learning a lot about the history and culture of Azerbaijan in Tabriz in this great book that was given to me recently. What are you reading these days?"

Iran's Ambassador to Azerbaijan, Abbas Mousavi, responded to the Israeli ambassador to Baku's book about Tabriz on his Twitter account: "For the attention of this boy who is looking for adventure: Our dear Tabriz is known as the land of firsts in the proud history of Iran. It seems that the zealous population of Tabriz will bury the first evil Zionist. Never cross our red line, never!"
