From Iranian Azerbaijani soldiers with love. ''Greywolf Salutation''
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_Wolves_(organization)
From citizens of the Republic of Azarbaijan who, under the command of Iran's IRGC, went to fight Erdogan's insurgents in Syria, with lots of love:
Followers of Velayate Faghih:
Beloved Muslims of Baku protesting against the pro-zionist policies of the Aliyev regime, as well as against the hijab ban:

So there are potentially traitors inside the Iranian Army. Could the Azeris in Iran start an insurgency if there was a war between Iran and Azerbaijan? Or would they be crushed fast and pre-emptively?
This picture could be fake for all we know.
First, every item you see in that photograph - except for the AK-47's, can be purchased by anyone at specialized stores of Tehran's Grand Bazar: the uniform, the beret, the patches. You don't even need to present a card proving that you're a member of the armed forces. You just walk in, choose your gear, pay and that's it.
Second, did you notice the trousers don't even match the shirt?
Third, the person's not showing their face to suggest that otherwise, they'd get arrested. But the thing is, showing your hand and background landscape is enough for identification.
So if you ask me, chances are it's a fake, photographed somewhere in the Republic of Azarbaijan.

However, there is a clique in the Iranian state that sees the Ülkücüler(aka grey wolves) as a threat, and such posts will only increase the paranoia of these narrow-minded people.
This begs two sorts of replies:
1) Nobody in the Iranian state is really worried about these types, because it is well known that Grey Wolves sympathizers represent less than a fringe grouplet. In fact, most Azari Iranians are of mixed backgrounds ie not "purely" Azari. Moreover, the great majority of Azari Iranians are highly patriotic and loyal to their motherland Iran. To them, Islam and Iran come first, and many are also aware of their local Iranian roots.
2) It is also no secret that the zionist entity, aided by elements in specific neighboring states, intends to provoke civil war in Iran in order to balkanize the country along so-called "ethnic" lines. Just recently, one of the major Isra"el"i think tanks, the Begin-Sadat Center, published a policy paper entitled "Dismantle Iran now". Thence, any and all manifestations of "ethno"-separatism no matter how anecdotal, won't go down well - not just with Iranian statesmen, but with the Iranian public at large. And this vigilance is both justified and necessary.
In Iran, more and more non-Persian minorities— who make up about half the country’s population—are demanding independence, suggesting that Iran could disintegrate into ethnic/national states. Th

I think Iran can show the Qaher-313,5 model and do an exercise at the border and leave the issue behind. This will be wise for everyone, and the Iranian public will be satisfied.
Equipment and men which would put the Baku regime in its place should it ever try anything funny, is what the Iranian public wishes to see. And that's precisely what it getting to contemplate. While the authorities in Baku are receiving the message loud and clear.

Iran is already quite paranoic about that. This information may stop them from beating their chest like a gorilla, Of course if they are smart enough.
And if they are not smart enough, Israel and US waiting for them to make a mistake.
If you think a single random photograph of unverified origins, which may be staged for all we know, is going to determine Iran's foreign policy, I don't know what to say.
Why the skepticism? Iran never started a war in 150+ years, nor are the current maneuvers held with that intention. However, the event is there to send a message to certain decision makers in Baku.
