House of Lords written question – answered at on 15 July 2013.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to restore a minimum level of diplomatic relations with Iran; and whether there are any preconditions for such a step on either side.
Diplomatic relations with Iran are already at the minimum level. Our respective Embassies are closed but arrangements are in place for Sweden to look after UK interests in Iran, and Oman to look after Iranian interests in the UK. Until we can be confident that Iran will abide by its obligations to protect our staff and allow them to carry out their functions, we will not have a diplomatic presence in Tehran.
