After arresting ambassador, Iran warns Britain against ‘interference’

Iran signals Monday it could expel Britain’s ambassador in case of any further “interference” in its affairs after a row over a vigil he attended for those killed in last week’s downing of a Ukrainian plane.

The Islamic Republic “calls for an immediate halt to all interference and provocation by the British embassy,” the foreign ministry says in a statement.

It warns that Iran’s response “will not be limited to summoning the ambassador (to the ministry) if this attitude persists.”
