The British regent, Prince Charles, was interviewed by the British Sunday Times and expressed his desire to make an official visit to Iran, despite the tense relations between the two countries, calling himself "a peacekeeper."

During the interview, the prince stated that he would like to visit the Islamic Republic, saying "Iran has been an important part of the world for centuries. It has contributed so much to human knowledge - in culture, poetry and art. Such a visit is planned.

The relationship between Iran and the United Kingdom has been largely declining in recent years, especially since the departure of the US nuclear agreement and Iran's violations of the terms of the agreement. In the United Kingdom, for example, the Iranian regime is demanding the release of Nazneen Zagari-Ratcliffe, who was sentenced to five years in prison on charges of operating against the regime. In Britain, Zagari-Ratcliffe's imprisonment of dual citizenship - British and Iranian - was allegedly ignored and intended to make it a bargaining chip.

The oil tanker crisis, in which the British government stopped an Iranian oil tanker, and Iran seized control of a British oil tanker, has strained relations between the two countries. Just this month, the British ambassador to Iran was detained by state authorities after documenting protests in the country, causing much anger in the UK accusing Iran of violating the law on handling diplomats.

In an interview, Charles also addressed the peace process in the region, saying that "what is important in the Middle East is a long-term sustainable and just peace," similar to what he said during his 75-year visit to the Auschwitz camp held at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem last week. However, on a topic that engages most Britons much more than relations with Iran or the Middle East - the choice of his son Harry and his wife Megan to step back from their royal duties, Charles did not address.
