TEHRAN, Dec 11 (NNN-IRNA) – The Iranian Foreign Ministry, yesterday, summoned the British ambassador, over the “meddlesome” remarks of some British officials, regarding Iran’s internal affairs and the imposition of sanctions against a number of Iranian nationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the meeting with Simon Shercliff, head of the third bureau of the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s Western Europe, condemned the continuation of the “interventionist and impolite” remarks about Iran’s internal affairs by British officials, and the support of the British government and media, for the “riots” and acts of “terror” in the country, according to a statement on the ministry’s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ministry also conveyed Iran’s strong protest at the imposition of the “illegitimate and hypocritical” sanctions against Iranian nationals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, the ministry strongly rejected Britain’s accusation that Iran is sending drones to Russia, saying, such accusations have been levelled without any document and proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Britain on Friday imposed sanctions on 10 Iranian officials, over alleged human rights violations, particularly during the recent protests in Iran, which erupted following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amini died in a Tehran hospital on Sept 16, a few days after she collapsed at a police station. Iran has accused the United States and some other Western countries of “inciting riots and supporting terrorists” in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also Friday, British Ambassador to the United Nations, Barbara Woodward claimed that Russia seeks to get more weapons from Iran, including hundreds of ballistic missiles, and is offering Iran an “unprecedented level of military and technical support” in return.– NNN-IRNA \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
