The United Kingdom has evacuated staff from its embassy in Tehran due to the increased threat of military conflict in the region. This was announced on February 27 on the website of the Government of the United Kingdom.

"The embassy continues to operate remotely, but support from the British government in Iran is extremely limited, and personal consular assistance will not be possible in emergency situations," the press release said.

The British Foreign Office also does not recommend that citizens travel to the Islamic Republic.

On the same day, the US State Department called on non-emergency personnel and family members of those employees who are in Israel to leave the country due to a "security threat" amid tensions between Washington and Tehran. It was reported that the diplomatic mission may restrict or prohibit employees from traveling to certain areas of Israel, the Old City of Jerusalem and the West Bank.

All important news is on the Izvestia channel in the MAX messenger.
