UK summons Iranian ambassador over embassy's 'unacceptable' comments on social media
LONDON, April 28 (Reuters) - Britain said on Tuesday the Iranian ambassador to London had been summoned over what the government described as the Iranian embassy's "unacceptable and inflammatory" comments on social media. Britain's minister for the Middle East, Hamish Falconer, made clear that the embassy "must cease any form of communications that could be interpreted as encouraging violence in the UK or internationally", the Foreign Office said in a statement. Iranian officials in Tehran could not be immediately reached for comment on Britain's move.
