In a Tuesday statement, Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi denounced as ‘arbitrary’ the US government’s seizure and searches of Russian diplomatic buildings on the American soil, saying such moves run counter to international norms and regulations.
“The US government’s seizure of, or threat to use force against the diplomatic buildings of foreign countries in America is condemned, and sets a dangerous precedent.”
“It shows that from now on, no country’s diplomatic missions on US soil will have enough guarantees from the US government that they enjoy immunity,” said Qassemi.
