Iran summons Swiss envoy over 'meddlesome' US remarks
2017-06-20
[Iran Press TV] Iran has summoned the Swiss charge d’affaires to Tehran to protest at the US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s recent "meddlesome" remarks against the Islamic Theocratic Republic, the Iranian Foreign Ministry front man says.

In a meeting on Monday, the director general for the Americas at Iran’s Foreign Ministry, Mohammad Keshavarz-Zadeh, handed over a strongly-worded official letter of protest to the Swiss envoy, who represents the US interests in Tehran, Bahram Qassemi said.

He added that Keshavarz-Zadeh denounced the US secretary of state’s "injudicious" remarks and described them as "clear intervention in Iran’s internal affairs."

Qassemi said the Iranian official had emphasized that Tillerson’s remarks were against the principles of international law and the international commitments of the US administration, including the United Nations
...where theory meets practice and practice loses...
Charter.

Keshavarz-Zadeh noted that the US administration was responsible for such comments and must be held accountable in this regard.
