Speaking to reporters on Monday, Iran Foreign Ministry Spokesman said Iran sees propaganda against the Iranian government as unacceptable and cannot close its eyes to anti-Iranian protests by Afghans.
Referring to recent Afghan anti-Iranian protest in front of the Iranian embassy in London and Kabul, Seyed Abbas Mousavi said the protests were meant to "destroy the relations of the two countries" and added: "Such actions and insults will not be tolerated".
On Sunday hundreds of Afghans rallied in front of the Iranian embassy in London to protest what they called the "maltreatment of Afghan migrants by the Iranian police and government". Similar but smaller rallies were held in front of Iranian embassies in other European capitals and in the United States.
