Iran Warns Britain It Will "Get Slapped In The Mouth" If It Issues Statements In Support Of Protesters

The BBC reports that "Britain has been given a warning by Iran's foreign minister that it will 'get slapped in the mouth' if it does not 'stop the nonsense'. Manouchehr Mottaki responded after UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband hailed the 'great courage' of Iranians who staged opposition protests on Sunday. Iran says the clashes, which resulted in at least eight people being killed, were inspired and aided by the West. The UK ambassador is being summoned by Iran to receive a formal complaint. Mr Mottaki said the protesters 'should not be encouraged by a few... statements by certain countries'. He added:'They should not pin their hopes on them. Britain will get slapped in the mouth if it does not stop its nonsense.'" Tweet
