I looked this up. They aren't really "allied", they just are friendly because Azerbaijan and Iran, despite being the 2 major Shia Muslim nations, picked opposite sides in the West/Russia dispute. Azerbaijan picked Turkey and Israel as it's major allies, which are both on the "Western" side. Meanwhile Armenia and Iran are both pro-Russia and to some extent anti-West. I don't think Armenia is inherently anti-West like Iran, it just needed to pick Russia out of necessity since the West wasn't going to give it any protection, but the Armenians thought (wrongly, now) that Russia would help them and deter Azerbaijan.
Also: "In 2018, Azerbaijan suspended oil and gas trade with Iran in support to the United States' reintroduced sanctions on Iran, which prompted hostility on the part of Iran's government towards Azerbaijan."
This really doesn't sound like an "alliance" to me: "During the July 2020 Armenian–Azerbaijani clashes, Azerbaijan and Armenia were called on by Iran to show restraint.[99] When hostility resumed between Azerbaijan and Armenia in September war, Azerbaijani media outlets accused Iran of tacit support for Armenia, while Iran denied these accusations and stated its act to make peace in Karabakh.[100][101][102] Iran also reaffirmed its support for the "territorial integrity" of Azerbaijan."
If Armenia and Iran were allies, Iran would be sending Armenia some military aid if not outright sending troops and/or invading Azerbaijan.
As far as I can tell, Israel supports Azerbaijan because $$$ and the Israeli defense industry has always been aggressive about selling shit to countries that are ethically questionable.
