Iran summons UK, German, French and Italian ambassadors over support for protesters

Jan 12, 2026, 12:03 GMT+0

Iran’s foreign ministry summoned the ambassadors of Britain, Germany, France and Italy on Monday after their governments expressed support for protests in the country, state media reported.

During the meeting, Iranian officials showed the envoys what they described as video evidence of violent acts by protesters, saying the actions went beyond peaceful demonstrations.

Tehran asked the ambassadors to pass the footage directly to their foreign ministers and urged their governments to retract official statements backing the protesters.

Iran said any political or media support for the demonstrations was unacceptable and amounted to interference in its internal security, the report said.
