UK to reopen embassy in Tehran this weekend - source

LONDON (Reuters) - Britain will reopen its embassy in the Iranian capital Tehran this weekend nearly four years after demonstrators stormed the building, a UK diplomatic source said on Thursday.

"The foreign secretary will travel to Iran to reopen our embassy there," the source told Reuters on condition of anonymity as the trip has not been formally announced.
