He said, ‘I also urged Britain not to interfere in Iran’s internal affairs, including not to take action against Israel-backed terrorists operating as news organizations. Ofcom has clear rules and regulations regarding incitement to violence and glorification of terrorism. The UK government should take steps to ensure compliance with its domestic laws.
Ambassadors of UK, Germany, Italy and France summoned
According to Iranian state media reports, Iran’s Foreign Ministry called the ambassadors of Britain, Germany, Italy and France to the ministry, so that they could be shown footage of the violence carried out by the rioters. The ministry summoned the ambassadors of countries that had declared their support for the protests and the protesters and openly supported the protesters.
According to the report, during the meeting the Iranian Foreign Ministry presented photographs of violent actions taken by rioters, stressing that these actions went beyond the limits of peaceful demonstrations and were organized sabotage. Tehran requested ambassadors to pass the photographs directly to their respective foreign ministers and also demanded the withdrawal of official statements made in support of the protesters. Iran stressed that any political or media support is unacceptable and is a direct interference in Iran’s internal security.
Macron put forward demand amid protests
Meanwhile, amidst the ongoing protests in Iran, French President Emmanuel Macron has put forward a demand to the Iranian government. Macron said, ‘I condemn the government violence that is targeting without discrimination those Iranian women and men who are courageously demanding respect for their rights.’ He said, ‘Respect for fundamental freedoms is a universal need and we stand with all those who protect these freedoms.
