The damage to the embassy building has been described as carnage and it is understood that the building is severely damaged.
In the same report it has been revealed that Norway has already closed its embassy citing security concerns as their reason.
This news follows reports of worsening relations over Iran’s nuclear programme. It is understood Tuesday's attack followed Britain's decision to impose further sanctions on Iran over its nuclear programme.
