Tehran, Mar 22: Iran lodged a diplomatic protest at the violation of its airspace by US and British planes, Iranian TV said.
The protest, lodged with the British ambassador in
Tehran and his Swiss counterpart, who looks after US interests
in Iran, came after earlier reports that a bomb had fallen on
Iranian soil, injuring two people.
The bomb dropped, by a US plane during the bombardment
of Iraq, exploded near the southwestern town of Abadan,
Iranian television claimed yesterday.
A government source refused to confirm the news,
saying only that the authorities were investigating the cause
of an explosion.
Qatar-based al-Jazeera television earlier reported
that the two were injured when an American bomb fell on a
petrol depot in Iran close to the Iraqi border.
