Iran and Azerbaijan are both majority Shia Muslim nations. They have respectively the highest and second highest Shia population percentage in the world,as well as the history of Shi'ism which is rooted in both nations from exactly the same moment in history,whereas the majority of the population of both their neighboring nations are either predominantly Christians or Sunni Muslims. However,there are some tensions between the two countries as its political alignment may vary by degree.
