Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband told Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi that Britain would not tolerate intimidation, threats or hostile activity on UK soil, the Foreign Office said. The two met at the United Nations General Assembly in New York and discussed the Middle East war and reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband warned Iran that Britain would not tolerate intimidation, threats or hostile activity on UK soil, according to the Foreign Office. Miliband delivered the message during a face-to-face meeting with Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Thursday. The Foreign Office said the discussion included the war in the Middle East and the importance of reopening the Strait of Hormuz.

The supplied material also refers to Britain’s “unwavering resolve”, but the available text ends before giving the remainder of that statement. The source identifies the British warning and the subjects discussed by the two ministers. It does not provide Iran’s response to Miliband’s message, details of any agreement reached during the meeting, or further information about the situation involving the Strait of Hormuz.
