Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, whether an agreement has been reached with Iran on compensating the UK for damage to the British embassy in Tehran in 2011.
This question was answered on 2nd June 2020
Damage caused to the British embassy in Tehran in 2011 was a grave breach of the Vienna Convention. No agreement has been reached on compensation related to the damage. Iranian officials have apologised for the incident and the UK reopened our Embassy in Tehran in August 2015. We re-established full diplomatic relations in September the following year.
