Article is bad.
Not a chance.
There's a few things to consider:
Iran has a large minority of Azeri's. A few years back some romantic comments came from Azerbaijan about an alliance with the Azeri's across the border. This irked Iran (eg. Ali Khamenei been half Azeri) who immediately took a hostile attitude towards Azerbaijan and a positive one with Armenia, who also have fought a number of conflicts with Azerbaijan.
Israel comes into this because the Azeri's see common ground: Iran as a rival and possible threat. Also Irans proximity to Azerbaijan makes espionage operations from Azeri land an attractive option. Not to mention a base for a strike(s).
Russia's relations here are complicated. Much of the massively corrupt Azeri hierarchy get their bread buttered in Moscow. In one way or the other. Moscows likes the idea of a, broadly speaking, secular Sunni country, as opposed to a more extremist one. They'll defend Azerbaijan if they were attacked. They'll also defend Armenia if attacked, and have close relations with the latter, though this is tempered by Armenia's poor state of economy. Turkey is an issue aswell, as they'll want to defend their culturally similar Azeri's.
Georgia, could very well be bent into shape by both the US and Russia to accept substantial foreign forces on guard to defend Azerbaijan.
Oh.. and just to note, Azerbaijan has that sweet sweet nice stuff: Caspian Oil. ;)
