SAEDNEWS: Iran’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, Seyyed Ali Mousavi, has denied Tehran’s involvement in the incident at Fairford military base and called on the British government to avoid making allegations without evidence.
According to Saednews, During a meeting on Monday with Stephen Doughty, the UK’s Minister of State for the Middle East, at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, Mousavi reiterated that Iran had no involvement whatsoever in the matter and urged London to present any evidence it claims to possess.
Mousavi stressed the importance of avoiding unfounded accusations, recalling that the Islamic Republic had previously called on the British government to refrain from hasty judgments and unsubstantiated allegations against Tehran.
He also reaffirmed Iran’s readiness to cooperate with relevant institutions in both countries as part of an investigation into the incident, noting that Tehran had already expressed its willingness to do so.
The ambassador emphasized Iran’s commitment to its obligations under international law, stating that all countries must honor their international commitments, including respect for national sovereignty, non-interference in the internal affairs of other states, and the prohibition of military aggression.
The meeting comes amid recent allegations by British officials regarding Iran’s purported role in the Fairford case. On Monday, UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham repeated previous accusations in the House of Commons without presenting any public evidence and announced additional sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
According to reports, the UK Counter-Terrorism Police investigation into the September 27 incident remains ongoing, and all seven individuals arrested in connection with the case have been released on bail.
British counter-terrorism police had also previously confirmed that no improvised explosive devices were found during the examination of vehicles linked to the incident.
