Araqchi Decries UK’s Double Standards
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi lashed out at the UK government for adopting double standards, pointing to its fresh sanctions on Iran on the basis of unfounded accusations and its failure to address the Israeli regime’s crimes.
“The EU and the UK, without presenting any evidence, have accused Iran of supplying ballistic missiles to Russia and imposed sanctions on our airlines and shipping,” Araqchi said in a post on his X account on Tuesday evening.
“At the same time, based on documents submitted to court, British media today reveals that the UK, fully aware that its arms and F-35 components are used by Israel in grave violations of international humanitarian law, continues to export these weapons,” he added.
“The UK's justification? Maintaining ties with the US and NATO. This contradictory behavior exposes their double standards and abdication of responsibility toward human rights,” Araqchi added.
