Internationally known Azerbaijani writer Chingiz Abdullayev has warned about potential environmental risks for Azerbaijan amid the escalating conflict involving Iran.
In a post published on Facebook, Abdullayev shared his personal concerns about the possible consequences of continued military escalation in the region.
According to the writer, the conflict could eventually spread toward Bushehr, a city in southern Iran where the country’s Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant is located. He noted that bombs have already been falling relatively close to the area.
Abdullayev cautioned that any major strikes near the nuclear facility could lead to a serious environmental disaster, which might also affect neighboring Azerbaijan due to geographic proximity.
The writer also expressed skepticism about predictions that the confrontation could end quickly. In his view, the conflict is likely to intensify rather than conclude within a few days, as some analysts have suggested.
Abdullayev further raised concerns that after the collapse of recent negotiations, Iran may ultimately develop a nuclear weapon or potentially assemble a so-called “dirty bomb.” He warned that such a scenario could pose a serious threat to Israel, given the country’s relatively small territory.
At the same time, Abdullayev stressed that he hopes his assessment proves wrong and described his remarks as a personal and subjective opinion.
In the same post, the writer also criticized current Israeli leadership, saying he regretted that figures such as Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres are no longer shaping the country’s political course. He also blamed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for policies that, in his view, have contributed to the current situation and for failing to answer for the events of October 7.
