Iran ‘threats’ warning
THE Foreign Secretary summoned Iran’s charge d’affaires following a series of “serious threats” to journalists in the UK, the Foreign Office said.
In recent years, the Metropolitan Police have contacted a number of UK-based journalists, having received credible information about a threat to their lives, according to the department.
It is understood the meeting took place on Friday afternoon.
In a statement, James Cleverly said: “The UK will always stand up to threats from foreign nations.
“I summoned the Iranian representative today to make clear that we do not tolerate threats to life and intimidation of any kind towards journalists, or any individual, living in the UK.”
