CAIRO (Reuters) – Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on Tuesday he was “disturbed” to learn Iranian citizens have been arrested by British authorities, according to a post on X.
He said Iran was ready to assist in investigations if “credible allegations of misconduct are established”.
His statements come days after British counter-terrorism police arrested eight men including seven Iranians in two separate operations in what the British interior minister called some of the biggest investigations of their kind in recent years.
