Iran has warned Britain that it will reconsider the presence of its diplomats in London unless the security of its embassy is assured. 

The response follows at least two brazen attacks on the Iranian embassy by Israeli-linked groups– including the desecration of the Islamic Republic’s flag – and the continued interference of British officials in Iran’s sovereign affairs.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi formally protested these actions to his British counterpart, emphasizing Britain’s legal obligation under international law to protect Iranian diplomatic facilities. 

"In a phone conversation with the UK Foreign Secretary this evening, I made clear that the UK is per international legal obligations dutybound to ensure the safety and security of Iran's London Consulate and Embassy," Araghchi wrote on X. "If the UK cannot uphold its duty to protect diplomatic missions, Iran would be left with no choice but to consider evacuating our personnel," he stressed.

Araghchi also demanded that the UK cease its meddling in Iran’s internal matters, particularly by halting support for Israeli-backed elements masquerading as news organizations. “Ofcom has clear rules and regulations about the incitement of violence and glorification of terrorism. The UK Government must take action to ensure that its own domestic laws are upheld."
