Italy summons Iranian envoy over protests

ROME, 28 December 2022, (TON): His office said “Iranian ambassador to protest the unacceptable response to women-led protests in the Islamic republic.”

Ambassador designate Mohammad Reza Sabouri has been called in to a meeting, the foreign ministry said in a note to the media.

Tajani has previously condemned the situation in Iran as an unacceptable shame, saying Rome took a hard line in defense of women.

Speaking, he said however that new Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s government wanted to “keep open the door to diplomacy” with Tehran, notably over Iran’s nuclear program.
