19/06/2009 Iran's ambassador to Britain has been summoned to the Foreign Office in London, a spokesman said Friday. The spokesman did not say why the ambassador had been summoned, but it came after Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei singled out Britain for particular criticism in a speech following daily protests over the poll. The Iranian envoy in the British capital is Rasoul Movahedian.
  
In his speech in Tehran, Khamenei said: "Today, top diplomats of several Western countries who talked to us so far within diplomatic formalities are showing their real face and most of all, the British government."
  
On Tuesday Iran summoned British and Czech ambassadors to the foreign ministry in Tehran to protest against the reaction from London and the European Union to the post-election unrest in Tehran.
  
In a meeting with ambassador Simon Gass, the ministry condemned "the unconventional and impolite remarks" by British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Foreign Secretary David Miliband, the ISNA news agency reported.
