Iran's Foreign Ministry summoned the Taliban government's charge d'affaires in Tehran, presenting him with its "strongest official protest" against a series of anti-Iran rallies in Afghanistan.
The Taliban official was informed on April 12 that Iranian consulate offices will remain closed and all operations will be halted until further notice and until Tehran receives assurances from the Taliban of the "full security" of Iranian representative offices. Iranian officials also demanded legal action against the Afghan protesters involved in the attack.
