Iran plans reduce cultural relations with Britain
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran says the country plans to reduce its cultural relations with Britain, an indication of the deteriorating relations between the two countries.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said Tuesday that there will be changes in the realm of “education and universities.”
Iran has not sent students on Iranian scholarships to Britain in past years.
On Monday British Foreign Secretary David Miliband called Iran’s nuclear program a “real threat” to international security.
Britian, along with other Western powers, fear that the program is aimed at creating weapons, a charge Iran denies.
