The Iranian Embassy in London has denied allegations linking Iran to recent violent incidents in the United Kingdom. In a statement, the embassy said a deliberately negative media environment was being created against Iran. The embassy posted on social media platform X that there was no credible evidence supporting such accusations, describing them as politically motivated attempts to mislead public opinion and divert attention from the real causes of terrorism and extremism.

The statement further asserted that Iran has long been a primary victim of terrorism, citing the killing of innocent civilians, senior officials, and scientists over the decades. It claimed that Iran remains at the forefront of the global fight against terrorism and extremism.

The embassy also noted that it had previously expressed concerns to relevant authorities about suspicious activities and alleged “false flag” operations on British soil aimed at discrediting Iran.
