Iran apologizes to Spain for diplomat's arrest

Iran apologizes to Spain for diplomat's arrest - Monsters and Critics: "Iran has apologized to Spain for the arrest of its consular representative in Tehran, warding off a diplomatic crisis, Foreign Ministry sources said Friday in Madrid.
Spain had threatened to recall its ambassador to Iran for consultations unless Tehran apologized for the arrest of Ignacio Perez-Cambra after he took a walk in an area where anti-government protesters were staging a rally on Monday.
The Spaniard was held for over four hours before being released.
Iran had violated the Vienna Convention regulating diplomatic relations, because it did not inform Perez-Cambra of the reasons for his arrest, Foreign Minister Trinidad Jimenez said.
Jimenez' Iranian counterpart Ali-Akbar Salehi called her on Thursday, and she 'accepted' his apologies, the sources said."
