Tehran's police chief Sardar Hossein Rahimi gave information that the armed attack on the Azerbaijani embassy occurred on personal grounds.

However, according to the information obtained by APA via diplomatic channels, the statements of the police chief of Tehran are completely groundless, the attack on the embassy is a terrorist act.

In order to evade responsibility, the Iranian state distorts the nature of the incident and tries to present the terrorist incident as a family-related incident.

Note that a person armed with a Kalashnikov assault rifle attacked the Azerbaijani Embassy in Iran this morning. The head of the security service of the embassy was killed, and two other employees were injured.

The attacker was arrested.
