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.
