Iranian Majlis (Parliament) National Security and Foreign Policy Commission on Sunday passed a bill under which Tehran will sever ties with the UK, IRNA reported.
Member of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Mohammad Karamirad told IRNA on Sunday that his Commission had endorsed the bill which demands full severance of ties, including political, cultural and economic relations, with the UK.
The relations between Iran and the UK remain strained due to disagreements over Iran's nuclear program for a long time.
Iran accused western intelligence agencies, including the British foreign intelligence MI-6, in participation in November 29 terrorist attacks in Tehran, when a nuclear physicist Majeed Shahriar was killed.
