Ignoring the British governme’s support for the occupation policies and war crimes of the Zionist regime in the region, which put it on the verge of a full-scale regional war and led to destabilization in it, he claimed against Iran’s role in the region and said: “At a time when Iran is It creates a great danger for the world, I wa to have an embassy in Tehran.”

Sanam Vakil, director of the West Asia program at the Chatham House think tank, said: “Short-term political actions like this seem to be reactive and low-cost, but the long-term consequences of these actions should be examined.”
According to him, “It is necessary to maiain diplomatic relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran, even though it is difficult, because it is needed to manage a set of issues that iernational governmes are facing in relation to Iran.”
