Iran summoned Austria's charge d'affaires in Tehran in protest over Vienna's refusal to grant visas to an Iranian delegation. The head of Iran's nuclear agency was expected at the headquarters of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which is located in Vienna.
The Iranian foreign ministry spokesperson stated that the visa refusal for the delegation of the Islamic Republic of Iran is a totally unjustified decision. The incident occurs at a time of tensions between Iran and Western countries regarding Iran's nuclear program.
The IAEA, headquartered in Vienna, is the United Nations organization responsible for overseeing civil nuclear programs worldwide. Iran has been subject to growing international scrutiny over its nuclear activities.
