Iran summons UK ambassador over stabbing allegation: state media

Iran summoned the British ambassador to Tehran to protest what it called "baseless accusations", state media said on Thursday, after a London court jailed two people for a knife attack it said was carried out at Iran's behest.

"Following the repetition of false and baseless accusations by British officials against the Islamic Republic of Iran, the country's ambassador in Tehran was summoned to the ministry, and the Islamic Republic of Iran's protest against the British government's inappropriate approach towards the Iranian nation was conveyed to him," the official IRNA news agency said on Thursday.
