WANA (Aug 27) – The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in London, in response to reports published by The Daily Telegraph, described the coverage as “biased” and “baseless,” expressing concern over the repetition of such approaches.

 

According to the Embassy, the newspaper’s articles rely on “vague and unreliable sources,” and therefore lack the necessary credibility. The Embassy’s statement stressed that such reports present a distorted and misleading image of realities in Iran, adding that this practice runs counter to the principles of professional journalism, impartiality, and commitment to truth. The Embassy firmly rejected the published allegations, calling for the immediate correction of the reports and an equal opportunity to provide an official response.

 

The Embassy further warned that the continued reliance on unspecified and unverifiable sources not only undermines journalistic integrity but also damages public trust and international relations based on mutual respect.

 

This reaction followed claims by The Daily Telegraph that Ali Larijani, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, was attempting to persuade other decision-makers in the country to reduce uranium enrichment levels to 20 percent.

 

In this regard, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson also stated on Tuesday: “This is not the first time that The Daily Telegraph, citing so-called informed sources that do not exist, fabricates stories and publishes baseless material about Iran.”
