After the UK charged three Iranian nationals with espionage, Iran's Foreign Ministry summoned the British diplomat in Tehran to demand explanations. The charges, which include assisting foreign intelligence services, have fueled existing tensions in Iran-UK relations, exacerbated by previous espionage allegations against British citizens in Iran. The three accused individuals were arrested in May and are alleged to have targeted journalists associated with Iran International, heightening the stakes of an already strained relationship between the two nations.
