  Italy's foreign minister has summoned Iran's new ambassador to Rome to express his country's concerns over the Iranian authorities' crackdown on anti-government protests that have been under way for more than three months.
  Conveying Italy's "Indignation and worry" over the crackdown, Italian foreign minister Antonio Tajani on Wednesday said he hopes that Iran will respond "Positively to Italy's request".
