Iran Hits Back at British PM for “Baseless” Allegations

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman dismissed as “untrue and baseless” the accusation made by British prime minister that Iran is creating tensions in the region, saying Britain’s moves, such as arms sales to aggressors, are a major cause of chaos and instability in the Middle East.

In comments on Wednesday, Bahram Qassemi said it is not the first time that British Prime Minister Theresa May has resorted to false and groundless allegations instead of telling the truth.

It came after May claimed in an interview with al-Riyadh newspaper that Iran was creating tensions and insecurity in the region by interfering in the affairs of Arab nations.

In response, Qassemi said Ms. May seems to have forgotten her official status and turned a blind eye to the Middle East developments in recent decades.

The bulk of chaos, instability and underdevelopment in the region originates from “colonial, expansionist and unfair” policies of aggression, invasion and creation of wars by her predecessors and Britain’s allies, he added.

Qassemi finally noted that London’s arms sales to the military coalition that is killing the people of Yemen in an “unequal and inhumane war” contradicts May’s claims about Iran.
