The temporary attorney in Australia in Iran was summoned to the Foreign Ministry after Kanberra imposed sanctions against a number of high -ranking officials and organizations of the Islamic Republic in connection with their “destabilizing activities in the region.” This is stated in the message of the Iran Foreign Ministry.
The diplomatic mission noted that the temporary attorney in Australia in Tehran was awarded a note of protest.
Iran’s position was brought to the attention of the government in Kanberra in connection with the new “illegal and unjustified” restrictions against Tehran. The Islamic Republic reserves the right to respond to this step of Australia, the department noted.
