Iran's Foreign Ministry has named The Sultanate of Oman's Embassy as the body taking care of its interests in the United Kingdom, a proposal which has been welcomed by London. The decision by Tehran was based on the Iranian Majlis approval to downgrade diplomatic ties with London as a result of the UK’s miscalculated and hasty stance which led to the closure of both Iranian and UK embassies in both countries, the official Iranian news agency (IRNA) reported. The UK had in turn named Sweden as the country responsible for its interests in Iran, which was welcomed by Iran. Iran is currently drawing up necessary diplomacy to deal with the governments of Oman and Sweden to handle consular affairs in connection with British citizens.
