Iran’s Ambassador to Azerbaijan Threatens Israeli Ambassador George Deek

A few days ago, George Deek, Israel’s (Arab) ambassador to Azerbaijan, tweeted the following innocuous tweet about learning more about Azerbaijani history and culture (hat tip: Emily):

Apparently, this was enough to trigger Seyed Abbas Mousavi Iran’s ambassador to Azerbaijan, who issued what can only be construed as a threat:

Over a day and a half later, and Twitter has not taken down the Iranian’s tweet. I’d take his threat seriously – like the other “Abbas”, he does not seem to have too much of a sense of humor:

Seyed Abbas Mousavi

and even when he does smile, he looks like a Bond villain:

My bad. He apparently does have a sense of humor.
