This is the situation after the war and after the comments of elcibey against Iran. Iran came closer to Armenia however still Iran is neutral and has ties with both countries.
Also I can't find the Iranian article in Irdiplomacy or anywhere about the support of Iran to Armenian militants. However what I know is that a cleric few years ago said Iran helped Azerbaijan.
The best option for Iran is to have ties with both countries, some countries want conflicts between Iran and Azerbaijan. We don't let that happen.
[/QUOTE]Iran is best friend of Azerbaijan and helped Azerbaijan during the war
The Islamic Republic of Iran staunchly supports Armenia over the dispute on Nagorno Karabakh, The Washintgon Times reports in an analytical piece.
“In fact, Iran has been threatening Azerbaijan for more than a decade,” reads the article.
“Iran has staunchly supported Armenia’s conquest of undisputed Azerbaijani territory in the Nagorno-Karabakh crisis to the point that Armenia regularly votes against sanctions on Iran in the United Nations,” it adds.
Further, it says that in 2001, Iran shot up an Azerbaijani oil-exploration platform in the Caspian Sea. Apart from blocking the legal resolution of that sea’s status, Iran regularly threatens Azerbaijan with invasion and other unspecified military action if it supports a US base in its country and because of its close ties with Israel.
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict sparked in the early 1990s when Karabakhi Armenians voiced their intention to live independently and later spiralled into a bloody war, leaving around 30,000 killed and more than a million displaced.

Baku. Konul Jafarli – APA. Iran supported Armenian militants during Karabakh war, says an article published by Irdiplomacy, one of the famous Iranian websites, APAreports.
The article says Nagorno Karabakh declared its independence in 1992 and Armenia seized power there: “Azerbaijan waged the war as it wanted to get back Karabakh. Iran supported Armenian militants in Karabakh. It caused Azerbaijan’s rapprochement with Israel against Iran.”
