Iran summoned Argentina's charge d'affaires in Tehran on Thursday because of the travel ban that Buenos Aires imposed on five Iranian flight crew members after their plane landed at an airport of the South American nation in June.

Prosecutors in Argentina said they launched investigations to figure out whether the crew members – 14 Venezuelans and five Iranians – have any ties to international terrorism or other illicit activity.
Iran denies the charge and considers the travel ban a violation of the crew's rights.
Iran's foreign ministry also recalled its ambassador from Sweden after an Iranian citizen was sentenced to life by a Swedish court for committing war crimes and murder during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s.
