Ismail Baqa'i, a spokesman for the Islamic Republic's Foreign Ministry, criticized the behavior of some foreign diplomats on Sunday, November 24, saying that some of them appear to be working in a diplomatic capacity, but in reality they are trying to attack Iran.
Using the expression "there is a dagger in the back" of these diplomats, Bakai emphasized that the diplomats of the Islamic Republic will not fail to give a decisive response to the enemy in the current situation and against the hostile actions of the other parties.
These statements are made in a situation where Iran's diplomatic relations with several Western countries, especially France and some other European governments, are strained. In recent weeks, Tehran has repeatedly accused European countries of accompanying America's actions against Iran and warned of the consequences of cooperating with military operations and economic pressures against the Islamic Republic.
However, in the published portion of these comments, Bakay did not name the specific country or diplomat he was referring to.
