Britain's Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond leaves a Royal Air Force aeroplane after arriving at Mehrabad Airport in Tehran, Iran August 23, 2015. Britain reopened its embassy in Tehran on Sunday, a historic step in the thawing of relations between the Islamic state and Western powers, a Reuters witness said. Hammond declared the embassy open and raised the Union Jack flag in the garden of the nineteenth-century residence in the Iranian capital that was stormed by protesters nearly four years ago.
