In response to the meddlesome remarks by British Foreign Office officials, British Ambassador to Iran Simon Shercliff was summoned to the the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday.

The director general of the Western Europe Department at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed at the meeting that the Islamic Republic of Iran rejects and strongly condemns the British Foreign Office’s interference in Iran’s internal affairs by exploiting false and provocative labels.

He added, “Unfortunately, by issuing one-sided and selective statements, the British side shows that it is essentially involved in the scenario-making by the anti-government individuals who are operating in this country against the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

The Iranian Foreign Ministry official said the Islamic Republic of Iran would consider available options in giving a reciprocal response to any unconventional move by the British side.
