Iran censures Danish police after attack on embassy in Copenhagen

The Envoy was quoted in the statement as saying that the armed intruder entered the embassy premises and started threatening and intimidating the staff and damaging vehicles in the parking lot of the embassy.
This came amid growing protests in European countries over the death of a 22-year-old Iranian girl.

Nadipoor told the Iranian Foreign Minister that, "despite previous official warnings", the police arrived at the embassy with delay.
Amir-Abdollahian expressed regret that "such an attack is launched in the heart of Europe against a woman and ambassador who enjoys diplomatic immunity and the police fail to arrive on time", the statement noted.
Last week, several protesters attempted to break into the Iranian Embassy in Oslo, which resulted in fierce clashes between local police and demonstrators.

Foreign Ministry summoned Denmark's ambassador to Tehran over the Friday attack of a man armed with a knife on the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Copenhagen.
An armed man after entering the embassy threatened the Iranian ambassador, harmed an embassy employee with his knife, and damaged the parked cars in the embassy.
The Danish ambassador in Tehran was informed of the Islamic Republic of Iran's protest about the lack of diplomatic security for its embassy and diplomats in that country.
It was emphasized in talks with the ambassador that in accordance with the Vienna Convention, the host country's responsibility in this respect is clearly mentioned, and it is strongly expected that the Danish government will remain committed to its international commitments regarding the diplomatic premises.
The ambassador of Denmark in Tehran apologized for the unfortunate incident and ensured the Foreign Ministry official that the required security measures have after that incident been intensified and will remain so in the future.
He also said that the protest of the Islamic Republic of Iran will be urgently conveyed to Copenhagen.
