Per BBC, British authorities have ordered the expulsion of two Iranian diplomats after Tehran recently expelled two U.K. diplomats.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown said he had no choice but to take action after Iran had made allegations that were “absolutely without foundation”.

Iranian officials have blamed the U.K. for the civil unrest in their country.
