Iraq recalls ambassador from Tehran, summons Iran’s chargé d’affaires over Erbil strikes | Oneindia
Iraq has taken a strong diplomatic stance by recalling its ambassador from Tehran for consultations and summoning Iran’s chargé d’affaires in Baghdad.
This move comes in protest against Iranian strikes on northern Iraq, resulting in the unfortunate death of several civilians overnight.
The Iraqi Foreign Ministry condemned the Iranian attack as a "blatant violation of the sovereignty of the Republic of Iraq." It emphasised that such actions contradict the principles of good neighbourliness, breach international law, and pose a threat to the security of the region.
Iran's president, Ebrahim Raisi, has been declared dead, according to Reuters. Raisi was traveling over the northwest Iranian province of East Azerbaijan when his helicopter made a "hard landing," according to statements from Tehran. On Sunday, he was on his way back from a trip to Azerbaijan. There have been reports of bad weather.
After hours of searching, the aircraft wreckage was found in the woodlands. According to reports, Hossein Amirabdollahian, the nation's foreign minister, was also aboard the Bell 212 helicopter. Additionally, state TV reported that the rescue teams' efforts have been hindered by fog.

An adviser to Iran's supreme leader recently declared that Iran would alter its nuclear doctrine if Israel posed a threat to its existence, adding yet another layer of complexity to the ongoing debate surrounding Tehran's nuclear ambitions. Despite Iran's consistent claims of pursuing a peaceful nuclear program, Western governments remain sceptical, suspecting ulterior motives behind Iran's nuclear endeavours. This ongoing dispute has resulted in enduring sanctions and heightened tensions on the global stage.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian announced that the crew of a Portuguese-flagged ship, allegedly linked to Israel and including Indian nationals, has been granted consular access and is expected to be released. This information, reported by Reuters citing Iranian media, sheds light on the situation surrounding the container vessel MSC Aries, which had a crew of 25 members, including 17 Indians. Notably, one of the Indian crew members, Ann Tessa Joseph, was released and returned home on April 18. The seizure of MSC Aries by Iran's Revolutionary Guards occurred in the Strait of Hormuz on April 13, shortly after Tehran declared its intent to retaliate for a suspected Israeli strike on its consulate in Damascus.
