Iran rejects baseless UK accusation over involvement in Red Sea ship attacks
The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson has dismissed the British government’s accusation that Iran is linked to the attacks on ships in the Red Sea as baseless.
  The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson has dismissed the British government’s accusation that Iran is linked to the attacks on ships in the Red Sea as baseless.   Nasser Kanaani said, “These claims are made with specific political goals and show efforts by British authorities to distort the realities in the region and also indicate that they are influenced by the preferences of third parties, including the child-killer Zionist regime.”   The spokesperson denounced the remarks and moves by some British officials as ‘non-constructive’, saying they pose a threat to regional and international peace and stability.   He stressed, “As we have clearly announced earlier, the resistance factions in the region do not receive orders from the Islamic Republic of Iran to counter and respond to the child-killer Zionist regime’s war crimes and genocide.”   “These factions make decisions and act according to their own principles and priorities and based on the interests of their countries and people,” he clarified.   Kanaani advised the British authorities to slam the occupying Zionist regime’s crimes instead of making baseless accusations.   He also said they should make efforts to stop the regime’s war crimes against the Palestine people, including women and children, and facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid according to international regulations and commitments.
