UK Withdraws Embassy Staff from Iran Amid Regional Tensions
Diplomatic personnel relocated as Israel‑Iran conflict escalates
The UK government has temporarily withdrawn embassy staff from Tehran and transitioned to remote operations in response to rising security threats following recent Israeli airstrikes on Iran and retaliatory missile launches.
The precautionary move coincides with Britain’s participation in diplomatic nuclear discussions in Geneva and underscores growing concern over regional instability.
British nationals in Israel are being offered chartered flights home once airspace conditions allow.
