Iran tells Britain to stop rhetoric and blame US, Israel

Iran’s embassy in London told Britain to “drop the low-cost statements” and join calls to hold the United States and Israel accountable.

The embassy’s post on X came in response to British Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, who said the end of a two-week ceasefire was approaching and described the moment as critical for diplomacy.

“Drop the low-cost statements and join the global public opinion to hold the US and Israel regimes accountable for their war crimes,” read the Iranian embassy’s post.

Cooper had said she had traveled through five countries over six days and spoken with more than a dozen foreign ministers and counterparts to maintain international pressure to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
