The Sky News network says that the British Foreign Minister told his Iranian counterpart at the meeting that Britain will not tolerate "intimidation, threats or hostile actions on its soil" by groups associated with Iran.
Sky News published this report on Thursday, October 2, citing British Foreign Office sources, but official government sources have yet to deny or confirm it.
Ed Miliband and Abbas Irakchi met on Thursday on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry says that Iraqi Abbas criticized the actions of the US and the Israeli prisoners in this meeting and said that the insecurity of the region and the Strait of Hormuz is the result of the military attacks of the US and the Israeli prisoners "with the support of some European countries".
However, Sky News says in its report that the two sides discussed the war in the Middle East, the importance of reopening the Strait of Hormuz and Britain's "firm determination to deal with threats from Iran-aligned groups on British soil." In recent months, Britain has announced the arrest of people connected to Iran on charges of carrying out attacks against Jewish interests and communities and opponents of the Iranian government.
