Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his British counterpart David Cameron exchanged views on the rising tension in the Red Sea as well as the conflict in Gaza.
In a phone conversation, Amir-Abdollahian accused the United States and certain Western countries of applying double standards, according to a statement from the Iranian foreign ministry, Xinhua news agency reported.
He said it was wrong to let Israel “kill women and children in Gaza” and “set the region on fire,” but “view the stoppage of an Israeli ship in the Red Sea as jeopardizing the security of the economic waterway.”
