LONDON: Furious over storming of its embassy in Tehran, UK on Wednesday ordered immediate closure of the Iranian embassy here, expelling its staff, and shuting down its mission in Tehran . PM David Cameron warned Iran of "serious consequences" as Britain also withdrew its diplomatic staff and families from Tehran.

Foreign secretary William Hague said UK had now closed its embassy in Tehran and had evacuated all its UKbased staff.

He said, "If any country makes it impossible for us to operate on their soil they cannot expect to have a functioning embassy here.

"This does not amount to the severing of diplomatic relations in their entirety. It is action that reduces our relations with Iran to the lowest level
