Tehran summons UK envoy to protest British ‘accusations’ against Iran
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleTEHRAN, Iran — Iran has summoned the British ambassador to Tehran to protest against London’s “accusations” against the Islamic Republic, state media reports.
“Following the continuation of the British regime’s accusations against the Islamic Republic of Iran, Simon Shercliff, the British ambassador in Tehran, was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs… and was informed of our country’s strong protest,” IRNA state news agency says.
The statement does not elaborate on the accusations, but it comes after Britain accused Iran-aligned groups of being behind a deadly attack on US troops in Jordan and, along with the United States, imposed sanctions on a network that they allege targets Iranian dissidents.
