Tehran - Iran has summoned the British ambassador to Tehran over remarks by Foreign Minister David Miliband who had called on the Persian Gulf Arab sheikhdoms to increase pressure on Iran with regards to its nuclear ambitions, ISNA news agency reported Thursday. The foreign ministry told Ambassador Geoffrey Adams that Milband's remarks on Monday were hostile, provoking and aimed at distorting Iran's brotherly relations with the regional countries and demanded an immediate halt to what it called London's interfering policies. The news agency did not say when the meeting with Adams took place at the foreign ministry. Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki on Wednesday criticised Milband's warning that the prospect of a nuclear-armed Iran would pose the most immediate threat to regional stability and said London should avoid following the failed policies of outgoing US President George W Bush.
