Breaking | The British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called the execution a callous and cowardly act that would not go unpunished.
Iran has executed a British-Iranian national who once served as its deputy defence minister, its judiciary reported on Saturday, defying calls from London for his release.
“This was a callous and cowardly act, carried out by a barbaric regime with no respect for the human rights of their own people.” Late on Friday, British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly had said Iran must not follow through with the sentence - a call echoed by Washington.
