The UK Government has announced that they have withdrawn embassy staff from Iran.
The moves comes after Donald Trump threatened to "bomb and destroy" Iranian infrastructure.
The Government website reads: "UK government support is extremely limited in Iran.
"No face-to-face consular assistance will be possible in an emergency and the UK government will not be able to help you if you get into difficulty in Iran.
"Due to the ongoing security situation, we have taken the precautionary measure to temporarily withdraw UK staff from Iran.
"Our embassy continues to operate remotely."
Earlier today, Mr Trump wrote on Truth Social: "From this point forward, any time the Islamic Republic of Iran shoots at a ship in the Strait of Hormuz, whether it be by Missile, Rocket, Drone, or any other device or weapon, the United States will bomb and destroy ONE BRIDGE OR POWER PLANT, including those located next to, or in, the Capital City of Tehran."
