TEHRAN, Iran , Apr 12 (AP) \u2014 Iran on Tuesday summoned Afghanistan\u2019s envoy in Tehran over attacks the previous day on Iranian diplomatic missions in the neighboring country, state media in Iran reported.<\/p>\n
According to the reports, Iran\u2019s foreign ministry summoned the Afghan charg\u00e9 d\u2019affaires in protest over Monday\u2019s attacks on the Iranian Embassy in Kabul and the Iranian Consulate in Herat, where protests had turned aggressive. In Herat, angry Afghan protesters pelted the consulate with rocks.<\/p>\n
The ministry demanded that Afghanistan\u2019s new Taliban rulers provide the missions with full security and said they stopped working until further notice. On Monday, ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said more needed to be done by the Taliban to ensure security to Iranian missions.<\/p>\n
Later on Tuesday, Iran said the missions had reopened.<\/p>\n
An Associated Press video showed the protesters setting the consulate\u2019s gates on fire and chanting \u201cDeath to Iran!\u201d as police were trying to disperse them by shooting into air. The video also showed protesters gathering at the Iranian Embassy in Kabul.<\/p>\n
In recent weeks, unverified videos purporting to show Afghan refugees being tortured in Iran have been published on social media, angering many Afghans. Iran has denied the accusations.<\/p>\n
Iran hosts millions of Afghan refugees. Last week, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said the number of Afghans in Iran has jumped to 5 million, from nearly 4 million before the Taliban took power last August.<\/p>\n
