Tehran has sought the protection of its diplomatic missions in Afghanistan and “necessary guarantees” for the safe operation of its diplomatic offices in the country following rallies held by Afghans in various provinces in reaction to reported incidents of harassment of Afghan migrants in Iran.

The call was made by the Iran Foreign Ministry’s Spokesman, Saeed Khatibzadeh on Monday at a press conference, according to a statement by Iranian Foreign Ministry.

“Referring to the deep historical and multi-layered relations between Iranian and Afghan nations and the decades of respectful hospitality of the Iranian people and government to the people of Afghanistan, he warned against the plans of conspirators and ill-wishers between Iran and Afghanistan,” the statement said.

“Unfortunately, some clips and comments are being published with the aim of creating phobia of Iran or Afghanistan, which targets the emotions of the people and demands more vigilance from the people and officials of the two countries,” it added.

This comes as the Afghans set rallies in several provinces where they criticised the reported incidents of Iranian forces’ mistreatment with Afghan migrants in Iran, TOLOnews reported.

Meanwhile, Khatibzadeh was quoted by the statement as saying that they are in constant contact with the Ambassador and other officials of the Iran mission in Afghanistan.
