Iran rejects UK newspaper’s ‘baseless’, ‘disinformation’ accusations

Iran's chargé d'affaires in London Mahdi Hosseini Matin has rejected the accusations leveled against Iran in the article published by a UK newspaper, saying that the accusations were “baseless and disinformation.”

In reaction to the baseless report published in the Times newspaper on Saturday, Hosseini Matin wrote on X social media platform, formerly known as Twitter, that “All baseless accusations & disinformation attributed to Iran by The Times are completely rejected".

On the threshold of the third pro-Palestinian demonstration in the UK, The Times newspaper in London claimed in a baseless report that Iran is leading the protest and "causing unrest" in the UK.

The British newspaper quoted an anonymous source affiliated with the country's police claiming that “Iranian agents are hijacking Britain's UK pro-Palestinian protests”, adding that “counterterrorism officers have held private discussions about Iran trying to stoke protests over Israel's bombing of Gaza and have warned of increased hostile state activity in the UK".

“Sources told The Times that senior police officers have been privately warning of Iran's involvement in pro-Palestine protests. It is said to be making the policing of protests more complicated.”

Hosseini Matin added, “With these allegations the so-called officials mentioned, cannot obstruct tens of thousands of protesters opposing their policies to support the Israeli brutalities.”
