xinhua news agency, tehran, september 12 (reporter chen xiao shadati) the iranian ministry of foreign affairs summoned the heads of the british, french, german and dutch embassies in iran on the 12th to protest against these countries' accusations that iran was suspected of transferring missiles to russia and imposing sanctions.

according to the islamic republic news agency of iran on the 12th, ahmedabadi, director of the western european department of the iranian ministry of foreign affairs, summoned the heads of the british, french, german and dutch embassies in iran at the ministry of foreign affairs on the same day to protest and strongly condemn these countries' recent "destructive actions and remarks" against iran, emphasizing that any claim that iran sold ballistic missiles to russia was "completely unfounded and wrong." he also reiterated iran's clear position of seeking a peaceful solution to the conflict on the ukrainian issue.

ahmedabadi said that the united states and some european countries, while talking about security and peace, are selling deadly weapons to countries such as israel, which is the root cause of tension in the world.

on the 10th, the united states imposed sanctions on multiple entities and individuals in iran and russia on the grounds that iran was suspected of transferring missiles to russia. the foreign ministers of britain, france and germany issued a statement on the same day, accusing iran of suspected transfer of missiles to russia, announcing that they would cancel the bilateral air service agreement with iran and impose sanctions on iran's national airline. iranian foreign ministry spokesman kanani subsequently strongly condemned this and said that iran would take "appropriate" action.
