Britain is to reopen its embassy in Tehran, four years after it closed.

Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond will visit Iran at the weekend with a delegation of business leaders, a senior government source said.

The embassy was closed in 2011 after it was stormed by Iranian protestors during a demonstration against sanctions imposed by Britain.

The visit comes weeks after a Teheran reached a deal with six world powersaimed at curbing its nuclear programme.
