UK orders closure of Iran’s London embassy

UK orders closure of Iran’s London embassy Britain announced on Wednesday that it has ordered the immediate closure of Iran’s embassy in London and has closed its own embassy in Tehran after it was stormed by protesters earlier this week.

In a statement to the House of Commons, William Hague, Britain’s foreign secretary, said the UK was not severing diplomatic relations with Iran. However, he said the UK had been forced to close both embassies as a result of this week’s violence.
