Explaining contradiction of US terror attack with the basics of the international laws as well as Iraq's sovereignty, as acknowledged by the world's legal experts, he said that in the eyes of the Iranian people and government such stances constitute accompaniment to the US terrorist act and are in no way justifiable and acceptable.
With such stances, Britain can be considered an accomplice to the crime, he reiterated.
Referring to huge funeral processions held in Iraq and Iran for Lieutenant General Soleimani and the other heroes of fight against Daesh who played a crucial role in uprooting the terrorist group from the region, the official said that the Iranian nation will never forgive those accompanying the US in the terror attack.
He called on the ambassador to convey Iran's protest message to London officials.
