An attacker broke into the buildings of the Iranian representation in Copenhagen and threatened Ambassador Afsaneh Nadipur with a knife. He also wrecked several cars belonging to the Iranian mission and was then overpowered by a mission official, the foreign ministry in Tehran said. The ambassador is doing well given the circumstances.
Copenhagen police confirmed the incident and announced that an Iranian citizen had been arrested in connection with it. He will be arraigned before the examining magistrate on Saturday. It was unclear whether the incident was related to the systemic protests in Iran.
Danish police criticized by Tehran
Tehran condemned the incident and also criticized the Danish police. “It is unfortunate that such an attack on a woman who is also an ambassador and enjoys diplomatic immunity is taking place in the heart of Europe,” said Foreign Minister Hussein Amirabdollahian. He also accused the Danish police of not showing up on time despite a report. That was surprising, said the foreign minister.
