The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office announced that the Minister for the Middle East, Hamish Falconer, has summoned the Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Kingdom. The summons was issued after the Iranian embassy posted unacceptable and inflammatory comments on social media. The minister stated that such actions are unacceptable and that the embassy must stop any communication that could be seen as encouraging violence in the UK or abroad. The UK government continues to call out Iran’s malign activities on UK soil, its attacks on Gulf allies, and violence against its own citizens. Protecting national security remains a top priority, and the government will take all necessary measures to safeguard the British public.
