"We have temporarily closed the British Embassy in Tehran, this will now operate remotely," a government spokesperson said. "Foreign Office travel advice has now been updated to reflect this consular change."
Earlier today, supporters of the Iranian leadership held a demonstration outside the embassy, where they burned ‘Israeli’ and US flags.
