UK summons Iran ambassador over embassy posts urging self sacrifice for the homeland

Officials call the messages inflammatory and unacceptable

Britain has summoned Iran’s ambassador after its foreign ministry objected to social media posts on embassy sites urging Iranians to “self-sacrifice for the homeland.” Officials said the campaign is unacceptable and inflammatory, and noted it began during the US-Iran war. Reports claim millions have signed up to “defend Iran,” raising fresh diplomatic tensions.
