UK Temporarily Closes Tehran Embassy Amid Iran Protests and Regional Tensions

The UK has temporarily closed its embassy in Tehran and evacuated all diplomatic staff due to a deteriorating security situation amid widespread protests in Iran. The embassy will operate remotely, and updated travel advice warns British and dual nationals of risks including detention. This move follows escalating regional tensions, with the US considering military action and withdrawing personnel from Middle East bases. Iranian officials have issued warnings of potential retaliatory strikes, while diplomatic engagements continue amid the unrest.
