Speaking to reporters in Tehran on Saturday, Qassemi said a few anti-Iran
hostile individuals had intended to invade and damage the building of the
Islamic Republic’s embassy in Paris on Friday afternoon.
However, the attackers could not enter the embassy and threw objects toward the
building and damaged it, the spokesman added.
Unfortunately, contrary to the expectations, the French police were not present
at the scene during the attack, Qassemi said, adding that the issue is under
investigation.
After follow-ups and the presence of police forces, a number of assailants were
arrested by the police, he said, calling on the French authorities to put the
perpetrators on trial and punish them.
The attack saw 15 Komala terrorists hurling stones and debris, spray-painting
graffiti, breaking several windows and slightly damaging the diplomatic
facility’s facade, the IRIB news agency reported on Saturday.
The report added that French police carried out no measure to protect the
compound during the attack despite the claim that they were aware of the assault
and had informed the embassy officials in advance.
The Komala is an Iraqi-based terrorist organization which has carried out
assassinations in western Iran since the Islamic Revolution in 1979.
The attack on the embassy came after the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps on
September 8 launched a missile attack on a center in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region
that was used for training anti-Iran elements and hosted a meeting of terrorist
leaders.
The terrorists had a role in the killing of Iranian soldiers at a border post in
the western city of Marivan.
