Iran categorically rejects UK terror allegations as ‘baseless', politically-motivated
Iran’s Embassy in the United Kingdom has categorically dismissed any allegations of involvement in violent incidents on British soil.
In a statement on Friday, the embassy reiterated its "position in unequivocally condemning terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, including recent incidents within the United Kingdom.”
The Islamic Republic of Iran, it said, "categorically rejects any allegations or links regarding Iranian involvement in violent activities in the United Kingdom.”
The statement followed an incident on Wednesday, when two Jewish men were stabbed in London in what police described as a terrorist act. A man has since been charged with attempted murder in connection with the attack.
CCTV footage captures the moment two people were violently stabbed outside a synagogue in north London.

In controversial remarks, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer accused Iran of attempting to "harm British Jews."
His Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, however, countered Starmer’s remarks, saying that it was too early to determine whether the perpetrator of the stabbing had any links to Iran.
"Such baseless accusations against the Islamic Republic of Iran lack credible evidence and appear to serve narrow political agendas, aiming to mislead public opinion and distract from the root causes of terrorism," read the embassy statement.
The embassy further highlighted that Iran itself "has been a primary victim of terrorism for decades."
Having endured the "loss of hundreds of thousands of innocent citizens, high-ranking officials, and scientists, Iran remains at the forefront of the global struggle against terrorism and violent extremism," it added.
The embassy also noted that it had previously warned UK authorities about suspicious activities and the potential for "false flag" operations on British soil.
