Iran starts "some of Tehran's biggest ever" WAR GAMES, says war with Israel "has already BEGUN" - amid tensions with Baku.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard has flexed its muscles with military exercises involving armored vehicles, drones and tanks not far from the border with Azerbaijan, but insists is was only a routine scheduled exercise.

Tehran openly expressed concerns with what it sees as Baku's close military cooperation with Israel and stated it will not tolerate its neighbors becoming “a safe haven and a base for the presence and anti-security activities of the fake Zionist regime." In a statement, Iranian FM spox Saeed Khatibzadeh claimed that "war has already begun" with Israel. "The entire crisis in the region is the fault of Israel."
