Oslo: Norway has reopened its embassy in Tehran after a 24-hour closure due to security concerns
following the attack by protesters on Britain's diplomatic mission there.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hilde Steinfeld says the premises opened as usual today morning, after authorities had made a new evaluation of the security situation.
Norway has asked Iranian authorities to guarantee the safety of its diplomats and Iran's ambassador to Norway is due to report to the Foreign Ministry in Oslo later today.
The embassy was closed yesterday, a day after protesters stormed the British diplomatic facility in what apparently began as a state-approved show of anger over Western sanctions linked to Iran's nuclear programme.
