The UK summoned the Iranian ambassador following provocative messages
The UK Foreign Office announced that the Iranian ambassador in London was summoned due to messages described as provocative.
The UK Foreign Office stated that the ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran in London was summoned following what were called unacceptable and provocative messages from the Iranian embassy on social media.
In the statement from this ministry, it was mentioned that Lord Ahmad, the UK Minister for the Middle East, emphasized that the Iranian embassy should stop any communication that might be interpreted as encouraging violence within the UK or internationally.
According to Reuters, Iranian officials have not yet shown any official reaction to this action.
This action is taking place while previously content attributed to the Iranian embassy had been published on social media, inviting certain individuals to participate in a campaign related to war.
The UK Foreign Office has not provided specific details about the messages in question.
The UK had also summoned the ambassador of the Islamic Republic last month following allegations against certain individuals linked to Iran.
