Iran summons Swiss envoy over missile remarks by Nikki Haley
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s official news agency reports that the foreign ministry has summoned the Swiss envoy to Tehran to protest remarks by the US ambassador to the United Nations.
The Tuesday report from IRNA says that Iran strongly protested “uncalculated and baseless” allegations by Nikki Haley, who displayed parts of a missile last week as “undeniable” evidence that Tehran has been arming Yemen’s Shiite rebels.
The Swiss Embassy in Iran looks after US interests because Washington and Tehran don’t have diplomatic relations.
