Summoning the British ambassador to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs following the imposition of new sanctions against Iran

According to Isna, following the imposition of illegal sanctions by the UK against a number of Iranian natural and legal entities, including the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Company and Iran Air, under the false pretext of sending ballistic missiles from Iran to Russia, the British Chargé d’affaires (in the absence of the ambassador) to the Ministry Foreign Affairs was summoned and our country’s strong protest against this illegal and unjustified action of the British government was communicated to him.

Abbas Naderi, the assistant director general of Western Europe of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, strongly condemned this British action, considering it to be contrary to international law and disrupting the principle of freedom of navigation and maritime trade.

Abbas Naderi, rejecting the allegation that Iran sent ballistic missiles to Russia, which the president of Ukraine himself has admitted to be false, clarified: the legitimate and legal cooperation of the Islamic Republic of Iran with other countries in the fields of defense and security is not against any third party and does not interfere The illegality of some European countries, including England, in Iran’s defense cooperation with other countries is not acceptable in any way.

The assistant director general of Western Europe pointed out: The Islamic Republic of Iran does not leave these irrational behaviors that are contrary to international standards unanswered, and it is obvious that the British government is responsible for the consequences of such unreasonable and confrontational behaviors.

The British Chargé d’affaires stated in this summons that they will reflect the situation to London as soon as possible.
