Iran announced that it will reappoint its ambassador to Britain after recalling him last month in protest against the arrest of an Iranian diplomat in the UK. The Iranian government spokesperson stated that 'Morteza Sarmadi' returned to London on Sunday after consultations with Tehran regarding the arrest of a former Iranian ambassador to Argentina who was residing in London. Hadi Soleimanpour, the charge d'affaires of the Iranian embassy in Argentina, was arrested on charges of being linked to the deadly 1994 Buenos Aires bombing at the Argentine Jewish community center, which resulted in the deaths of 85 people. An Argentine judge issued an arrest warrant for Mr. Soleimanpour, who is awaiting extradition proceedings. On Sunday, Hamid Reza Asefi, spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry, dismissed the Argentine government's accusations as baseless and emphasized that this arrest would have a detrimental impact on relations between the two countries.
