TEHRAN – A top lawmaker has urged the Foreign Ministry to react to the Dutch expulsion of two Iranian diplomats by doing the same thing to Dutch diplomats in Iran.

“The Foreign Ministry should expel two Dutch diplomats residing in Tehran in a reciprocal measure,” said Alaeddin Boroujerdi on Monday, Mehr reported.

Boroujerdi further said that it is a well-known principle in international relations to show similar reaction in retaliation for such moves. “They should expect to have a similar reaction from the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
