Following US President Donald Trump's threats against Iran, on Monday morning, the Swiss chargé d'affaires in Tehran, acting as the protector of US interests, was summoned to the Iranian Foreign Ministry, where Iran’s official warning note was delivered to him, APA reports citing Iranian media.

On Sunday, the US President claimed in an interview with NBC that if an agreement is not reached with Iran regarding its nuclear program, “we will attack them and impose sanctions against them.”

In this regard, the Swiss chargé d’affaires, in the absence of the ambassador, was summoned to the Iranian Foreign Ministry by Issa Kameli, Assistant to the Foreign Minister and Director General for the Americas at the ministry.

During the meeting, the Iranian diplomat described Trump’s statements as provocative, contrary to international law and the United Nations Charter, and emphasized that the Islamic Republic of Iran would respond decisively and immediately to any mischief or threat.

The Swiss chargé d’affaires assured that he would promptly convey the matter to the US government.
