UK Foreign Secretary warns Iran over hostile activity on British soil

Ed Miliband Abbas Araghchi Strait of Hormuz two-state solution Iranian-linked groups

During a meeting at the UN General Assembly in New York, British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband met with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to address several escalating tensions. Miliband warned that the United Kingdom will not tolerate intimidation, threats, or hostile activities on British soil by groups linked to Iran. This warning follows security incidents, including an arson attack on Jewish community ambulances in Golders Green, which British intelligence has linked to Iran or its proxies.

Miliband also pressed for the immediate release of British citizens Craig and Lindsay Foreman, who are currently detained in Tehran's Evin prison. Regarding regional stability, the UK Foreign Secretary urged Iran to pursue diplomacy and de-escalation rather than prolonging conflict, and emphasized the necessity of maintaining freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.

Separately, Miliband expressed concern that developments in the occupied Palestinian territory, such as settlement projects, are undermining the prospects for a two-state solution. The UK government has also implemented sanctions on goods produced by West Bank settlers as part of a reset in its approach to the region.
