Actually not an Azerbaijan Iran tension, not even a Turkey Iran tension.

Azerbaijan instead of taking Qarabaq has sticked to Zangazur corridor.

If Azerbaijan by backing of Israel succeeds in occupying Zangazur, then Iran will be disconnected from Europe and Russia. Consequently NATO will reach out to Caspian sea and from there to Central Asia. There is no bigger threat than that. Azerbaijan is too small to be a threat to Iran or to have tensions with a big neighbor like Iran. Problem is NATO's plan for reaching Caspian sea and backyard of China.

If you mean land-corridor then Iran has been cut of from Russia a decade ago.. Georgia is NATO ally and you need Georgia in order to access Russia via land corridor hence Zangazur is pointless whether taken or not as Iran doesn't have land corridor anyways..

Georgia is blocking the way..

Azerbaijan is definitely a threat militarily they punch way above their weight and could inflict Iran with a painful lesson militarily the azeris are armed to the teeth which is why I don't see Iran miscalculating on the Azerbaijan area at all. They have defense treaty with Turkey an attack on Azerbaijan is an attack on Turkey. Besides Georgia is also a turkish ally in the area meaning Azerbaijan and Georgia are the same element in different coins. Besides Azerbaijan won't take Zangazur as Washtington won't allow hence Turkey/NATO won't allow it..

But all in all zangazur itself has no geo-stragetic value unless Georgia is taken out of the picture first then it can gain significiance but right now it has no importance for iran stragetically if it is there or not because if Georgia refuses to give corridor there is not much there to be done as they hold all the keys

Georgia was defused by Russian operation years ago. It is a neutral country ever since.

Azerbaijan is not a threat because its population is not a threat to Iran, same about Turkey. Threat originates from NATO terrorist alliance. Georgian leaders know very well what would happen if they make stupid decisions.

But all in all zangazur itself has no geo-stragetic value unless Georgia is taken out of the picture first then it can gain significiance but right now it has no importance for iran stragetically if it is there or not because if Georgia refuses to give corridor there is not much there to be done as they hold all the keys

azerbaijan exists as a buffer between Iran and Russia. It is the only useful purpose it serves geopolitically.

The day azerbademjan becomes a threat to either Iran or Russia, or invites nato rats to the region, is the day it will cease to exist. period.
