Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that it has designated the United Kingdom's Royal Navy, Royal Air Force and external intelligence service (MI6) as 'terrorist and enemy' organizations because of the anti-Iran actions carried out by the British government over the past year.
DECISION TOOK EFFECT TODAY
In a statement by Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was stated that the United Kingdom's Royal Navy, Royal Air Force and external intelligence service (MI6) have been added to the list of 'terrorist and enemy' organizations due to the British government's anti-Iran policies and actions over the past year. It was reported that the decision, which took effect as of today, is based on a decision approved by Iran's Supreme National Security Council.
In the statement, the British government's anti-Iran policies and actions were condemned on the grounds that they violate the principles of the United Nations (UN) Charter and international law, particularly respect for national sovereignty and the prohibition of applying unlawful measures against other states. The Ministry reaffirmed Iran's determination to protect its national security and interests.
BRITISH BASES CITED AS JUSTIFICATION
Drawing attention to various 'hostile' actions carried out by the British government, the statement listed among the justifications for the decision the provision of military bases and facilities on British territory for use in participation in the war waged against Iran, and the designation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a 'threat to national security'.
Stating that the measures in question were taken in accordance with international law and the principle of reciprocity, the Ministry emphasized that responsibility for the consequences will rest entirely with the British government.
