to Tehran on Thursday over an attack by an unidentified individual against one of the Iranian embassy staff members in Athens.
 

 

'The Greek charge d'affaires, in absence of the country's ambassador, was summoned to Iran's Foreign Ministry,' said Bahram Qasemi, spokesman of the ministry.

Expressing its strong objection to what has happened, Iran urged the immediate investigation into the incident, as well as the identity of the aggressor and his motives, he said.
