​The reopening of our Embassy in Tehran in August 2015, and the subsequent upgrade in the relationship to Ambassadorial level in September 2016, provides us with the ability to discuss regularly a range of issues with the Iranian government, including regional affairs and to address areas including Iran’s policy towards Israel.
