The Iranian government condemned the seizure of Jalal Sharafi, the second secretary at the Iranian Embassy in Baghdad, saying he was seized Sunday by gunmen who "operate under the supervision of the American forces in Iraq," the official Islamic Republic News Agency reported.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran strongly condemns this aggressive act which is in violation of international law," IRNA quoted Hosseini as saying. "Iran holds American forces in Iraq responsible for the safety and life of the Iranian diplomat."
First of all, I doubt we snagged a diplomat knowingly.
Second, in a just world, Our State Department's Irony Desk would inform the Iranians that they should file a formal complaint at our embassy in Tehran.
We'll get back to them in 444 days.
