Calls for Mousavi’s resignation reverberated through conservative media channels, with accountability demands being made against those who let diplomacy down in this case. On the other hand, some voices from Iran were more moderate, urging against overreaction but cautioning that measured responses are equally important. They emphasized the importance of maintaining open lines of communication between Azerbaijan and Iran to prevent unnecessary escalation of hostilities. Some argued that diplomatic ties could not be severed over isolated events like these, especially when they involve friendly nations while complying with cultural norms around religion.
