Iran refutes 'accusations' that Tehran is trying to threaten British security

(Reuters) - Iran refutes what it called 'accusations' made by Britain that it was trying to threaten the security of the UK, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on Wednesday.

Britain on Tuesday said it will place Iran on the highest tier of the foreign influence register. This would require the Iranian state to register everything it does to exert political influence in the UK, subjecting Tehran to an elevated tier of scrutiny in light of what it said was increasingly aggressive activity.
