U.K. Foreign Secretary William Hague ordered the closure of the Iranian Embassy in London following the storming of the British Embassy in Tehran, saying the attack happened with the consent of Iran’s government.

All Iranian diplomats must leave the U.K. in the next 48 hours, Hague said, over the “grave violation” of the Vienna Convention, which protects diplomats working in foreign countries. He said the closure of Iran’s mission didn’t amount to a severing of diplomatic ties. Britain has closed its embassy in Tehran and evacuated all of the staff, Hague said.
