Sky News, quoting a source in the British Foreign Office, reported that Miliband and Araqchi held a meeting on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meetings in New York, where they discussed the war in the Middle East, in addition to the importance of reopening the Strait of Hormuz to shipping traffic.

According to the report, during the meeting, Miliband stressed Britain's determination to confront what he described as the threats posed by groups linked to Iran to British territory.

The meeting comes at a time when British concerns are mounting about activities attributed to parties linked to Iran, especially in the cyber field. The National Cyber ​​Security Center in the United Kingdom announced last week that entities linked to the Iranian state used spyware known as “Choice Break” in targeted phishing campaigns aimed at stealing emails, text messages, and other sensitive information via messaging platforms, including WhatsApp and Telegram.

The meeting between Miliband and Araghchi also comes amid diplomatic efforts related to the war in the Middle East and the future of shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most important corridors for energy transport and global trade.
