UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband met Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, where he delivered a direct warning that the UK will not tolerate intimidation, threats or hostile activity on British soil.
The face-to-face talks came amid heightened tensions over Iran's nuclear programme and regional activities. The UK has previously accused Iran of conducting hostile operations on British territory, including plots against individuals and cyber incidents.
During the meeting, Miliband is understood to have raised concerns about Iran's nuclear escalation and its support for groups that undermine regional stability. The Foreign Office has not released a full readout of the discussions.
The exchange underscores the UK's continued diplomatic engagement with Tehran even as it maintains pressure over security and human rights issues. Further details of the meeting have not been disclosed.
