BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 27. The Embassy of the Argentina Republic is appalled by the attack on the Embassy of Azerbaijan in Tehran, Trend reports with reference to the embassy’s Facebook page.

“We express our condolences to the relatives of the victims of the attack on the Azerbaijani Embassy in Tehran,” the publication says.

An armed attack took place at the Embassy of Azerbaijan in Iran on January 27, 2023, at about 8:30 (GMT+4). The gunman turned out to be a man in his 50s, who drove up to the administrative building, armed with a Kalashnikov automatic rifle.

Earlier reports from the Chief of Tehran police said there were two children in the car with the gunman, the security camera footage released later proved the man was alone.
