UK Foreign Secretary Warns Iran Against 'Hostile Activity' on British Soil
Foreign Secretary Miliband told Iran's foreign minister that Britain will not tolerate threats from Iranian-linked groups, including attacks on the Jewish community.
The UK's foreign secretary, Miliband, has told Iran's foreign minister that Britain will not tolerate "hostile activity" carried out on British soil, according to a readout of the meeting.
In the exchange, the foreign secretary stressed what was described as "the UK's unwavering resolve to combat threats from Iranian-linked groups on UK soil, including attacks on the British Jewish community."
The warning reflects ongoing concern within the UK government over activity linked to Iran within Britain's borders. Officials have in recent years raised alarm over a series of incidents attributed to networks with ties to Tehran, including threats directed at Jewish communities and other individuals in the UK.
The meeting between the two ministers took place against a backdrop of strained relations between London and Tehran, with British authorities continuing to monitor and respond to what they characterise as hostile state-linked activity.
No further details of the discussion, including Iran's response to the warning, were immediately available.
