The United Kingdom has summoned the Iranian ambassador to protest what it called the Iranian embassy's 'unacceptable and inflammatory' social media comments. The Foreign Office did not specify which posts triggered the action but described them as deeply offensive and contrary to diplomatic norms. The move escalates tensions between London and Tehran amid the ongoing Iran war and broader regional instability.
