British embassy in Tehran temporarily shuts amid tensions
The move comes amid heightened US rhetoric toward Iran, following widespread anti-government protests fueled by worsening economic conditions. On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump warned that Washington would take “very strong action” if Iranian authorities carried out executions of protesters.
Iranian officials have accused the US and Israel of supporting “riots” and “terrorism” linked to the protests. Official casualty and detention figures have not been released, but the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) estimates that at least 2,500 people—including protesters and security personnel—have been killed, with more than 1,100 injured.
