The Iranian authorities started by spreading false information about the terrorist act that happened in Azerbaijan's embassy in Tehran. In the first hour after the attack on the diplomatic mission, the Tehran police issued a statement saying that the raid was based on "personal and family" motives and that there were two young children with the terrorist. He allegedly came to the embassy to find his wife. The lies of the Tehran police were immediately exposed with videos. Surveillance cameras in the embassy and in front of it exposed Iran's lie.

Axar.az reports that this was said by Russian analyst Andrey Petrov.
