Photos show a number of Iranian politicians scrambling to get close to the Italian, some MPs going so far as to perch themselves on tables to get a snap with the diplomat. Iran's Fars news agency described their behavior as strange.

Many comments appeared on Iranian social media under the hashtag "selfies of humiliation." Some social media users mocked the politicians, with reference to famous films in which men - or rather dwarves in this case - fawn over a woman.

Mogherini has long sought to strengthen ties between the Islamic Republic and the European Union. She has been praised for her negotiating skills which contributed to the 2015 international agreement on Irans nuclear program.
