Iran threatens Britian
Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki threatened to 'slap Britain in the mouth' after British Foreign Secretary David Miliband (pictured) expressed support for anti-government rebels in Iran. Manouchehr Mottaki responded after UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband hailed the "great courage" of Iranians who staged opposition protests on Sunday.
Iran says the clashes, which resulted in at least eight people being killed, were inspired and aided by the West.
The UK ambassador is being summoned by Iran to receive a formal complaint.
Mr Mottaki said the protesters "should not be encouraged by a few... statements by certain countries".
He added: "They should not pin their hopes on them. Britain will get slapped in the mouth if it does not stop its nonsense."
Mr Mottaki's speech was broadcast on Iranian television with an English translation on screen.
I would suggest that the British ambassador go straight from the Foreign Ministry to the airport after that meeting and offer to take all British citizens with him. It's long overdue.
