Iran summons Australian ambassador over offensive social media post
The official noted that the embassy's post contravened international law and the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which mandates respect for the host country's laws and regulations.
In response, Ambassador McConville asserted that the Australian embassy had no intention of offending the Iranian people or their values, clarifying that the post did not specifically mention Iran.
The ambassador said he would convey the concerns and stance of the Iranian government to Canberra.
