Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh condemned the British foreign secretary's meddling remarks and stance towards Iran's military drills and defense capabilities.

The Iranian foreign ministry spokesman rejected the interference of the UK foreign office in Iran's defense capabilities, and said that the Islamic Republic of Iran acts within the international laws and regulations and in accordance with the country's defense needs; hence not only such remarks and taking positions are considered as interfering in Iran's internal affairs, but they also indicate the continuation of London's double-standard policies.

"This country (the UK) in an endless rivalry for sale of the most destructive weapons to West Asia region and other crisis-hit regions signs military pacts such as AUKUS without paying heed to non-proliferation treaty (NPT) and simultaneously expresses concern about Iran's military drills," Khatibzadeh said.
