Iran's foreign ministry said Monday it "strongly condemns" Iraq's raid on Tehran's consulate in Karbala over the killing of a prominent activist.
Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh Monday told reporters that Iran late Sunday handed over a "letter of protest" to the Iraqi embassy in Tehran and urged the neighboring Arab nations to pursue the case under international conventions.
"Iran strongly condemns attacks on its diplomatic sites in Iraq," said Khatibzadeh in a weekly briefing in Tehran.
