Iran calls for releasing its diplomats kidnapped by Israel in 1982

The Iranian Foreign Ministry on Monday in Tehran released a statement on the occasion of the 17th anniversary of the kidnapping of four Iranian diplomats and citizens by Israeli elements during the Israeli military invasion of Lebanon in 1982.

In a statement, the Iranian FM called on all international and humanitarian circles to exert efforts to learn the fate of the kidnapped and release them, as all indicators reveal that those Iranians are still alive and were taken to Israel.

The Iranian FM held Israel directly responsible for kidnapping the Iranian diplomats and called for releasing them unconditionally.
