EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton express concern over the recent demonstrations near the UK Embassy in Tehran.

“It is with extreme concern that I have learnt that the premises of the Embassy of the United Kingdom in Tehran have been overrun by demonstrators. I strongly condemn this totally unacceptable incursion.

I call on the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran immediately to fulfill its international obligations, including the Vienna Convention, to protect diplomats and Embassies,” she said in a statement.

Earlier on Wednesday UK authorities have already decided to evacuate diplomatic missions from Tehran.
