Iran rejects claim of seeking to threaten Britain's security

Iran rejects claim of seeking to threaten Britain's security

Tehran, Mar 6 (UNI) Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei on Wednesday rejected "baseless" claims by British officials that Tehran seeks to threaten Britain's national security.
He made the refutation in a statement released by the ministry in response to anti-Iran statements by British Security Minister Dan Jarvis in an address on Tuesday to Britain's parliament.
Jarvis said he "will place the whole of the Iranian state, including its intelligence services, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps and Ministry of Intelligence," into the enhanced tier of the upcoming Foreign Influence Registration Scheme, which is designed for protection against covert foreign influence.
Baghaei called on Britain to stop its "unconstructive" approaches towards Iran and the West Asia region, reaffirming Iran's commitment to the United Nations Charter and international law, especially the principles of mutual respect, non-interference in other countries' internal affairs and respect for international law and regulations.
Baghaei urged British officials to abandon their "incorrect policies against Iranian people and stop promoting and encouraging terrorism," "instead of insisting upon their confrontational policies and leveling baseless accusations against Iran."
