The British embassy in Tehran has been temporarily closed, with operations moving to remote management, as confirmed by a government spokesperson. This decision follows a protest outside the embassy by pro-regime activists who burned flags of Israel and the US, displaying banners with messages against Britain. The protesters included members of the Basij militia, known for enforcing the Islamic regime’s policies. The Foreign Office has updated its travel advice in light of this consular change.
