Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Saturday summoned the UK ambassador to protest London's hosting Persian-language media hostile to Iran.

In response to the hostile reporting by Persian-language media based in London against Iran, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the UK ambassador to Iran on Saturday.

The director-general of Western Europe communicated Iran’s severe protest to the UK for its hosting of the media that have put provocation and invitation to turbulence and expansion of riots in Iran on top of their agenda.

The director-general also emphasized that this is considered an interference in Iran’s internal affairs and a measure against Iran’s sovereignty.

The UK ambassador said that he would immediately report the issue to London.
