Foreign Secretary Miliband told Iran's foreign minister that the United Kingdom would not tolerate hostile activity taking place on British soil, officials said.
During the meeting, Miliband underlined "the UK's unwavering resolve to combat threats from Iranian-linked groups in UK soil, including attacks on the British Jewish community," reiterating London’s concern about such incidents.
The warning formed the central message of the diplomatic exchange, in which the UK set out its expectation that its territory would not be used as a base for hostile actions. Miliband’s comments emphasised protection of communities in the UK as a key element of British foreign policy priorities.
The discussion adds to the ongoing diplomatic dialogue between the two countries. No further details of the meeting were released by officials at the time.
