What happened

An Improvised Incendiary Device (IID) targeted the Iranian Embassy in Athens, thrown by two people on a motorcycle, Athens News Agency reported. According to Greek police, two people riding a motorcycle, with their faces covered, hurled the weapon against the wall of the Iranian Embassy, where it blew up. No damage or casualties were caused. Attack followed gathering in city’s Syntagma Square to denounce Tehran’s crackdown on Mahsa Amini protests. Amini, as you know, died in police custody after Iran’s morality police arrested the 22-year-old Kurdish woman in Tehran on 13 September, for wearing her hijab in an “improper” way.
