Iran has protested to the Swiss envoy in Tehran who represents the United States interests in Iran, over the violation of its airspace by a US drone which Iranian forces shot down.
Iran summoned the Swiss ambassador to Tehran on Tuesday to protest at an “irresponsible” claim by US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley that the Islamic Republic has provided missile support for Yemen, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said.
Iranian foreign ministry summoned Swiss charge d’affaires in Tehran to convey the Islamic Republic's strong protest to the US government over the interfering remarks of US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson. Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi said that following the uncalculated and meddling statements by the US secretary of state, Swiss charge d’affaires was summoned in the absence of the ambassador by the ministry’s director general for US affairs to voice Iran’s protest to Tillerson's anti-Iran remarks in the country’s House of Representatives.
