on Joint Statement of some western states on 31 July 2025
The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in London expresses its strongest rejection and categorical condemnation of the joint statement issued on 31 July 2025 by a group of western countries, including the United Kingdom, which contains baseless and politically motivated allegations against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The said joint statement constitutes yet another attempt to exert political pressure on Iran through demonization, distortion, and securitization, without presenting any credible or legal evidence.
The Embassy firmly rejects the accusations of so-called “state threats” or alleged actions attributed to Iranian intelligence services in the territories of the mentioned countries. These claims are entirely unfounded and part of a broader narrative aimed at portraying Iran as a threat to justify hostile policies and actions against the country.
The Islamic Republic of Iran reiterates that it respects the sovereignty of all States and is fully committed to its international obligations. It is deeply regrettable that the UK has chosen to join in promoting a confrontational and unfounded statement rather than engaging in dialogue and cooperation grounded in mutual respect and adherence to international law.
Iran also notes, with concern, the continued safe haven provided by some of these same countries—including the United Kingdom—to terrorist and separatist groups that have openly incited violence, targeted Iranian civilians, and acted with impunity.
The failure of these governments to address such threats undermines their moral authority to level accusations at others.
The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran calls on the Government of the United Kingdom to refrain from engaging in politically motivated and propagandistic campaigns that undermine diplomatic trust. Instead, it should take steps toward preserving and strengthening diplomatic engagement aimed at resolving any misunderstanding and fostering cooperation based on mutual respect and shared interests. In this regard, the Embassy once again emphasizes the importance of convening joint meetings between the intelligence and security services of the two countries to conduct the necessary consultations and mutually agreed cooperation.
