Britain is withdrawing its diplomats¹ from Iran following the attack on its embassy in the capital, Tehran, on Tuesday, diplomatic sources say.

英国外交人士称，驻伊朗大使馆在周二被袭击，因此将召回所有外交官。

A first group of embassy staff are reported to be flying out to Dubai.

The Foreign Office has said that "some staff" are leaving "for their own safety", but has not confirmed if all its diplomats are being pulled out.

The attack followed Britain's decision to impose further sanctions on Iran over its nuclear programme.

It led to Iran reducing diplomatic relations with the UK.

Protesters ransacked²（洗劫，掠夺） the embassy and a UK residential³ compound in the capital, burning British flags and a car.

British Prime Minister David Cameron has warned of "serious consequences", while the US, EU and UN Security Council also condemned⁴ the attack.

Iran has said it regretted the incident.
