Baku, Azerbaijan, Feb. 24
By Farhad Daneshvar - Trend:
The UK consular service in Tehran has resumed its regular activities and issuing visa for Iranians, ISNA news agency reported.
British embassy was shut down in 2011 after it was stormed by protesters during a demonstration against nuclear sanctions.
The embassy was reopened, nearly four years after it was closed during Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond's visit to Tehran in August 2015.
The reopening came weeks after Iran and the world powers reached a nuclear agreement aimed at curbing its nuclear program.
However, the embassy did not issue visa after reopening and the decision to issue visa comes following agreements between Tehran and London during Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif's visit to the UK over the past month.
