Britain on Tuesday summoned Iran's most senior diplomat in London over what the UK government said was ​Iran's role in directing proxy groups to carry ‌out attacks across Europe in recent months.

Axar.az reports, citing Reuters, Charge d'Affaires Ali Nasimfar was summoned to the foreign ministry over the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps ​Quds Force allegedly directing a group to carry ​out attacks across Europe between March and May, ⁠the British Foreign Ministry said in a statement on ​Tuesday.

It identified the proxy group as the Islamic Movement of ​the Companions of the Right. Calling the activity "completely unacceptable," the foreign ministry said, "Despite repeated warnings, Iran’s intelligence services have not ceased in ​their hostile activity. Instead, Iran has sought to intensify ​its malign behaviour."
