  In a phone conversation, the foreign ministers of the Islamic Republic of Iran and Britain, discussed and held consultations over the latest state of developments in the region.   Amirabdollahian referred to the latest developments and Iran's legitimate defense with the aim of punishing the Israeli regime, saying the crises in West Asia stem from the destructive role of the occupying Israeli regime.   He further expressed surprise at the extent of support Britain gives to the crimes of the Zionist regime and its killing of children and innocent people in Gaza. Amirabdollahian asked Cameron, “What does the British government gain from this amount of irresponsible support for Israel?”   Amirabdollahian added that it is surprising that while several thousand tons of bombs have been dropped on the oppressed people of Gaza in the past six months, Britain is worried about the response of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the brutal attack of the Israeli regime against the Iranian diplomatic mission in line with of the principle of legitimate defense under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.   He noted that Iran does not welcome an escalation in the region, but if the Israeli regime is looking for an act of adventurism, then Iran’s next response will be immediate, stronger and more extensive.   British Foreign Secretary David Cameron, for his part, expressed concern over rising tensions in the region following the response Iran gave to the Israeli regime’s acts of aggression.   He then spoke about the situation in Gaza, saying Britain worked round the clock during the recent debate on a UN Security Council resolution in order to establish a ceasefire in Gaza.   Cameron went on to say that Britain is making an effort to get the two sides to exchange their prisoners as well.   He added that the Iranian military action against Israel was so worrying and increased regional tension. He said at the same time, London will ask Tel Aviv to not make any move as it does not want a repetition of what happened in a much wider manner.   During the telephone conversation, Amirabdollahian and Cameron stressed the importance of continued consultations between Tehran and London.
