British FM summons Russian, Iranian ambassadors over Aleppo

British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said Thursday he had summoned the ambassadors of Russia and Iran to convey his "profound disquiet" over events in the besieged Syrian city of Aleppo.


Johnson expressed concern at reports of executions, ambulances being shot at and "disappearances" of opponents by pro-regime forces.

"Both Russia and Iran have failed to uphold their obligations under international humanitarian law, specifically by failing to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to civilians during the months when eastern Aleppo was besieged," Johnson said in a statement.
