BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 27. The Iranian side has put forward two fake versions regarding the motives of the attack on the Azerbaijani Embassy in Tehran, an informed source told Trend.
The information that the attacker is Armenian and he was looking for his wife, "hiding" in the embassy, is a lie.
An armed attack took place at the Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan in the Islamic Republic of Iran on January 27, 2023, at about 8:30 (GMT+4). The attacker turned out to be a 50-year-old man who drove up to the administrative building with two young children: a 14-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy. He opened fire with a Kalashnikov assault rifle at a security post, killing the head of the security service and wounding two embassy guards. The incident is currently being investigated.
