Iran’s Embassy in London responded to the propaganda by the UK’s Ambassador to the United Nations on the attack to Mercer Street ship near the coast of Oman.
The twitter account of Iran’s Embassy in London accused the UK of discriminatory application of international law when it comes to Iran.
UK Ambassador to UN Barbara Woodward accused Iran of ‘deliberate and targeted’ attack against the ship and of disregard for international law, saying that food and goods depend on commercial shipping.
Iran’s embassy said in a tweet:
“good points.
food, goods and commercial shipping of Iran is also being jeopardized for years either by unlawful sanctions or attacks on its vessels. But no reaction. International law shall apply on all and work for all.
Grave allegations need hard evidence.”
