British Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband met his Iranian counterpart Abbas Araghchi on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly and warned that the UK would 'not tolerate intimidation, threats or hostile activity' on British soil from groups linked to Tehran, specifically raising the security of British Jews. The two also discussed the broader Middle East war and the importance of reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Iran reportedly pushed back against what it characterized as European 'interference' in the meeting, reflecting continued friction between Tehran and Western governments even as nuclear and Hormuz-related negotiations proceed separately.
