WANA (Sep 12) – In response to the UK’s dual approach towards Iran and its support for one side in the Ukraine conflict, Nasser Kanaani, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, emphasized that wherever there is a war, the involvement of the U.S. and the UK, either directly or indirectly, is evident.

 

Kanaani wrote on his official social media account, X: “The UK Defense Minister has announced that the country will send additional weapons to Ukraine by the end of the year. Meanwhile, the UK Foreign Office has summoned the Iranian Chargé d’Affaires over an unverified report regarding missile transfers to Russia, a report that Iran has officially denied.”

 

He added: “Wherever there is conflict, the U.S. and the UK are either directly involved or indirectly fueling the fire.”

 

This response follows the UK Foreign Office summoning Ali Matinfar, the acting Iranian ambassador in London, due to claims about Iran sending ballistic missiles to Russia—claims that Iran has officially denied.
