“The arrest of our ambassador in Tehran without grounds or explanation is a flagrant violation of international law,” Britain’s Foreign secretary Dominic Raab said in a statement.
“The Iranian government is at a crossroads moment. It can continue its march towards pariah status with all the political and economic isolation that entails, or take steps to de-escalate tensions and engage in a diplomatic path forwards,” the statement continued.
The missile strike on the plane, which killed 176 people, including 82 Iranian nationals, sparked protests against the Iranian regime. In a tweet, Tasnim accused Macaire of “organizing suspicious movements and protests in front of Amir Kabir University.” They also said the ambassador, who was released, would be summoned Sunday to account for his actions.
