Mousavi slammed what the British FM had said.

Iran advised Britain to abandon to interfere in the Middle East, and not to sell military weapons and equipment to aggressors in the region.

Iran Press/ Iran News:  Iran's foreign ministry spokesman, Abbas Mousavi, in a statement on Thursday said, "Instead of launching a smear campaign against others, Britain needs to stop making mischief in the region, selling arms to [the Saudi-led coalition of] aggressors [fighting] in Yemen and participating in what the UN has approved as crimes against humanity." 

He issued the statement in response to the comments of Britain's Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, speaking in the House of Commons on Wednesday, who pinned the blame on Iran for the September 14 attacks on Saudi oil facilities without providing any evidence for his claim.

Mousavi stressed that the UK’s supporting role for the aggressor side in the Yemeni war leads the public opinion to the acceptance of the “unrealistic and biased” accusations by the British minister against Iran.  

Blaming Britain’s political and arms support for Saudi Arabia in the Yemen war, the Iranian spokesman advised London to press its “belligerent ally” to immediately end the destructive war on Yemen rather than to accuse others. 

He added, "Britain had better stop interfering in regional nations’ affairs and allow them to find a wise solution to put an end to the ongoing conflicts and tensions [in the region] mostly created as a result of foreign interference."

Mousavi said, however, these accusations and remarks by the UK meant to undermine the new  regional peace initiative proposed by Iran at the UN.

The Iranian diplomat notified that such a propaganda campaign against Iran would undermine Tehran-London relations. 

While the UK accuses Iran in this manner, the British arms sales to Saudi Arabia has licensed the sale of at least £4.7bn ($6bn) worth of arms to Riyadh.
