Iranian press review: US-brokered Azerbaijan-Armenia deal a 'great betrayal'

A US-brokered peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan has provoked a furious reaction among Iranian conservatives. The deal involves creating the Zangezur corridor, a land link between Azerbaijan and its Nakhchivan exclave, with the involvement of US forces and companies. An adviser to Iran's supreme leader condemned the plan, stating the region would become a "graveyard for Trump's mercenaries." Hardline Iranian media outlets have called the deal a "great betrayal," fearing it will establish a US and Israeli military and intelligence base on Iran's northern border.
