PRESS RELEASE The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in London categorically rejects the British judicial authorities’ destructive actions in attributing the direction or support of acts of violence in the United Kingdom, as well as any alleged links between the individuals concerned and Iranian institutions, to the Government of Iran, or alleging that they were engaged in espionage activities. The Embassy considers the instrumental use of security-related allegations and judicial proceedings to advance political agendas against Iran unacceptable, as such practices create a climate conducive to hostile narratives against the Islamic Republic of Iran and foster suspicion towards the Iranian community residing in the United Kingdom. The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran reiterates the need for British authorities to handle these sensitive matters professionally and in full accordance with the law. It also reminds the British authorities of their responsibility to safeguard the rights of Iranian nationals, including access to legal counsel, the right to pursue legal remedies and appeals, and consular access, in accordance with the United Kingdom’s international obligations.    Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran-London  12 November 2026
