It was recently reported that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to visit London in order to discuss with the British the importance of them designating the Iranian Revolutionary Guards as a terror organization. This comes after the Saudi-Iranian normalization deal caused a strategic blow to the State of Israel, when the ayatollahs in Iran agreed to restrain the Houthis and to strike a rapprochement deal with the most important Sunni state in the Middle East under Chinese mediation in an effort to ease its isolation.

For Israel and Azerbaijan, this rapprochement deal is bad news, as Tehran routinely chants "death to Israel," denies that six million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust, supports and arms Palestinian terror groups that are responsible for killing Israelis, and stands behind Hezbollah, another Iranian proxy in Lebanon which seeks the destruction of Israel. Simultaneously, the Iranians have also been threatening Baku in recent days over their strategic alliance with the Jewish state.
However, Iran does not just attack Jews inside of Israel. This news about the Saudi-Iranian rapprochement was reported after it was recently revealed that the Iranian Revolutionary Guards were behind an attack on a German synagogue in 2021 in Halle that killed three people and that the Iranian Revolutionary Guards stood behind a more recent attack upon the Azerbaijani Embassy, which killed a senior level security official on International Holocaust Memorial Day. However, it should be noted that while Saudi Arabia is seeking reconciliation with Tehran, the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Conference is not.
Recently, the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation adopted a resolution against the Islamic Republic of Iran following the attack upon the Azerbaijani Embassy. In the resolution, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation member states condemned the attack upon the Azerbaijani Embassy that took place on International Holocaust Memorial Day a couple of months ago, urged the Iranian government to conduct a thorough investigation, to bring the perpetrators to justice, and to ensure the security of Azerbaijani diplomatic missions in Azerbaijan. So far, the Islamic Republic has failed to do any of this. This is because the Islamic Republic of Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism, which sought to punish Baku for their opening up of an embassy in Tel Aviv, whose grand opening is slated for March 29th.
However, Tehran's punishment of Baku did not end with their attack upon the Azerbaijani Embassy. For decades, Iran has been suppressing the Azeris and other non-Persian peoples of Iran, denying them the right to study in their mother tongue. They have forced Azerbaijani families to give their children Persian names and have changed the names of Azerbaijani areas to Persian names. Anyone who protests this is arrested, tortured, or even killed. Not only the Azerbaijanis, who make up 40 percent of Iran, have been treated like this, but also the Ahwaz, the Baloch and many other nations living in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Furthermore, it was recently reported in the Turkish media that Iran set up a training camp for Armenians in Karabakh, where some 4,000 Iranian terrorists are active and training not only Armenian separatists but also the PKK. The reports claim that these training camps in Karabakh will not only be used against Azerbaijanis but can be directed against Ukrainians as well. Already, the Russians used Iranian-made weapons to attack Ukraine, so sending off personnel is a likely next step in the Islamic Republic of Iran assisting their Russian allies over there in committing war crimes and other crimes against humanity.
