The Government remains committed to improving our bilateral relationship with Iran. We intend to reopen our Embassy in Tehran once some outstanding issues have been resolved and anticipate that the Iranian Government will wish to reopen its Embassy in London in parallel.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office continues to work closely with other government departments on these and other issues concerning the UK/Iran bilateral relationship.
