Italian envoy summoned to Iran Foreign Ministry over “meddlesome remarks”

During the meeting, the Islamic Republic of Iran conveyed its strong protest to ambassador Giuseppe Perrone over a continuation of such statements.

It was also stressed that the Islamic Republic of Iran views selective and dual approaches toward human rights as unacceptable and totally rejected, and that it is the opposite side that has violated the Iranian nation’s rights and severely harmed its interests by imposing unlawful sanctions on the country.

The Italian envoy was also told that the negative and irrational stances taken by some Italian officials have nothing to do with the historical ties between the two countries.

For his part, the Italian ambassador said he would relay Iran’s protest to his government in Rome.
