On Monday, the Iranian embassy issued a detailed statement, two months after an explosion took place on the evening of January 29, near the Israeli embassy on APJ Abdul Kalam road. The low-intensity IED blast took place when the Indian capital was under heavy security cover due to the beating retreat ceremony that was taking place a few kilometres away.
