The Azerbaijani State Security Service (SSS) has prevented a terrorist act aimed at assassinating a high-ranking representative of the Jewish community of Azerbaijan by arresting two suspects - Azerbaijani citizen Agil Aslanov and Georgian citizen Jeyhun Ismayilov - who were offered a $200,000 bounty for the murder.
Azernews reports that sources in the Jewish community claim that Iran and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were behind the assassination attempt, according to the Israeli media.
