The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in London sent a letter rejecting the accusations made in the recent ITV report. The text of this letter is as follows:

 

The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in London would like to categorically reject all the baseless accusations recently made in the ITV report on the issue of “Iran’s Spy Plot …” dated 20th December 2023.

No need to mention that, the unsubstantial claims presented in the above-mentioned report are not only devoid of factual merit but also appear to be rooted in preconceived notions and a Hollywood-style narrative to pursue their malicious scheme and goal against the Islamic Republic of Iran which was in the agenda of some war wingers inside the UK for a while. Iran as a responsible and transparent state is committed to its obligation according to international law and norms to not interfere in internal affairs of any country.

It is disheartening to observe commissioned reporting that mirrors Hollywood sensationalism rather than adhering to the principles of objective journalism. Such a reports, exemplified by the recent ITV coverage, is not only condemned but strongly rejected. Accusations without proper substantiation undermine the credibility of journalism and contribute to the spread of misinformation.

Furthermore, we encourage responsible reporting that fosters understanding and cooperation among nations.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we trust that a commitment to journalistic integrity will prevail in future reporting.
