Reduction of ties with Britain ‘a strong response’ to hostile actions

TEHRAN, Nov. 28 (MNA) – Ali Akbar Velayati, the Supreme Leader’s top advisor, said that downgrading relations with Britain is a demand of the Iranian people and ‘a strong response’ to the hostile actions of London. Legislators, as the representatives of the people, made the decision to prove that the Majlis is seeking to stand up for the rights of the people, Velayati said. The Majlis ratified the proposal in response to the fact that Britain ordered all British financial institutions to stop doing business with their Iranian counterparts, including the Central Bank of Iran, on November 21.
