Iran SLAMS UK For Unjust Arrests Of Nationals, Warns Of Political Motives And Int. Law Violations

Iran has summoned the British charge d’affaires in Tehran to protest the arrest of several Iranian nationals in the UK, calling the detentions unjustified, evidence-less, and politically motivated. Tehran accused London of violating international law and denying consular access to its citizens. The arrests were made under the Terrorism Act, but all four detainees were later released. Iran holds the UK responsible for any fallout from this move. Ongoing investigations and searches continue across various cities in Britain, escalating diplomatic tensions between Tehran and London. #IranUKTensions #TehranProtests #UnjustArrests #IranianNationals #TerrorismActUK #DiplomaticCrisis #UKPolice #InternationalLaw #HumanRightsViolation #IranUKRelations #BritishPoliceArrests #ConsularRights #PoliticalMotives #MiddleEastNews #TehranSummonsUK #IranianCitizens #SwindonArrest #ManchesterNews #IranSlamsUK #BreakingDiplomatic
