TEHRAN, May 14 (YPA) The Iranian Foreign Ministry summoned Iraq’s ambassador in Tehran in protest at the anti-Iran activities in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region.

The director of the first department of the Persian Gulf at the Iranian Foreign Ministry reminded the Iraqi ambassador that the anti-Iran meeting in the KRG and the activities of terrorists in that region run counter to a recent security agreement between Tehran and Baghdad.
