Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif criticized Russian and British Ambassadors to Tehran for the picture published on the Russian Embassy Twitter account, Report informs, referring to foreign media.
The Twitter account of Russia's Embassy in Iran published a photo yesterday, showing the new British Ambassador to Tehran Simon Shercliff sitting with Russia's Ambassador Levan Dzhagaryan on the upstairs in the porch of the Russian Embassy building.
The location and setting reminded the 1943 Tehran conference where the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin sit at the same place for a photo opportunity.
"I saw an extremely inappropriate picture today. Need I remind all that Aug. 2021 is neither Aug. 1941 nor Dec. 1943. The Iranian people have shown—including during the JCPOA talks—that their destiny can never be subject to decisions in foreign embassies or by foreign powers," Zarif wrote in a tweet.
