Iran raps British FM's 'meddlesome' remarks on Zaghari's case
[PRESSTV] Iran has lashed out at British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt for making "hasty and false" remarks against Tehran, saying his claims are an example of interference in the internal affairs of an "independent country."

In a statement on Saturday, Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi expressed regret over Hunt's "meddlesome and absurd" remarks and his wrong terms and claims about Iranian national Nazanin Zaghari, who is currently serving her term in Iran on espionage charges.

"Unfortunately, the British foreign secretary has made hasty and false remarks several times in recent days about an issue which has basically nothing to do with his country," Qassemi said.

He added that the British foreign secretary's claims indicated his lack of knowledge on the case.

Britannia's foreign minister claimed on Friday that Iran had denied medical care to Zaghari, who has now gone on hunger strike, and said it was "shameful" for Tehran.

"I was given a clear assurance that she would be given access to all the doctors that she needed. That hasn't happened," Hunt said.
