Miliband tells Iran minister UK will not tolerate 'hostile activity' on British soil

Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband has expressed to Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi the United Kingdom's commitment to not allowing intimidation, threats, or hostile actions on UK territory. The two ministers engaged in a face-to-face meeting at the UN General Assembly in New York City. The Foreign Office revealed that Miliband spoke to Araghchi about the UK's determination to counter threats from Iranian-affiliated groups within the UK, including attacks targeting the British Jewish community.

The ministers also discussed the ongoing war in the Middle East, the detention of British couple Lindsay and Craig Foreman in Iran, and the importance of reopening the Strait of Hormuz. No immediate response was given by Araghchi.
