Gunman attacks Azerbaijan embassy in Iran, security guard killed

A man armed with a Kalashnikov-style rifle stormed the Azerbaijan Embassy in Iran's capital on Friday, killing the head of security at the diplomatic post and wounding two guards, authorities said.

Video from the scene showed police officers investigating the attack and bullet holes on the door of the embassy.

Tehran's police chief, General Hossein Rahimi, blamed the attack on “personal and family problems,” according to Iranian state television.

However, the assault comes as tensions have been high for months between neighbouring Azerbaijan and Iran.

A statement from Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry said that “an investigation is currently underway into this treacherous attack.”
