Britain is withdrawing some staff and dependents from its embassy in Tehran after it was stormed by Iranian protesters, some of whom tossed petrol bombs at the facility, the Foreign Office said Wednesday.

It declined to say how many people were being removed or give other details, but insisted that "ensuring the safety of our staff and their families is our immediate priority." Some diplomatic work is ongoing, though the embassy is officially closed.

Britain said it was outraged by the attacks and warned of "serious consequences". The UN Security Council condemned the attacks "in the strongest terms". US President Barack Obama called on Iran to hold those responsible to account.
