Britain’s Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband tells Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araqchi that the UK will not tolerate “intimidation, threats or hostile activity on UK soil.” The warning is delivered during a face-to-face meeting in New York.
Miliband and Araqchi meet on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday, according to the UK Foreign Office. Both outlets report that the discussion covers broader issues alongside the security message, including the war in the Middle East and the importance of reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The outlets differ only in how much background they provide, with one including additional detail about the UK’s position, while both emphasize the same quoted warning to Iran.
The reporting is based on statements attributed to Britain’s foreign office and does not specify which groups are meant beyond language indicating links to Iran, nor does it describe any particular incident prompting the message.
