The UK foreign secretary has said that Iran will be ‘held to account’ over the execution of British-Iranian national Alireza Akbari. Speaking in the Commons, Cleverly said: ‘Our message to that regime is clear: the world is watching you and you will be held to account, particularly by the brave Iranian people, so many of whom you are oppressing and killing.’ Akbari, who once served as Iran's deputy defence minister, was executed on charges of spying for Britain despite calls from London and Washington for his release
