    The United Kingdom has joined several other countries in temporarily pulling embassy personnel out of Iran, citing escalating security concerns linked to the ongoing conflict with Israel.

    The British Foreign Office announced that, as a precaution, UK diplomatic staff have been withdrawn from Tehran, although embassy operations will continue remotely. The ministry reaffirmed its calls for de-escalation between the warring nations but stressed the importance of safeguarding British personnel and nationals. Travel to Iran has long been discouraged by the UK government.

    Australia also ordered its diplomats and their families to leave Iran on Friday, suspending embassy activities due to the deteriorating security environment, according to Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong. Approximately 2,000 Australians and their relatives are registered in Iran and have sought to leave, alongside some 1,200 Australians in Israel.

    Other countries that have halted embassy functions or evacuated staff from Tehran include New Zealand, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Portugal, and Switzerland. The Swiss government announced the temporary closure of its Tehran mission, though it will continue representing US interests in Iran.

    Meanwhile, European leaders met with Iranian officials in Geneva aiming for a diplomatic resolution. French President Emmanuel Macron expressed hope for peaceful negotiations, while UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy emphasized a “window of opportunity” within the next two weeks to avert further escalation. Both Lammy and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio reiterated their stance that Iran must never develop or obtain nuclear weapons.
