<p>The reopening of the UK Embassy in Tehran in August followed gradual expansion
of our bilateral engagement with Iran over the last two years, allowing us to discuss
a broad range of issues, including areas where we and Iran have sharply differing
views.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The nuclear deal agreed in July will give the
international community confidence in the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear programme,
by imposing strict limits and inspections on its nuclear activity. If Iran completes
the agreed actions on its nuclear programme, and nuclear related economic and financial
sanctions on Iran are lifted, there will also be commercial opportunities for UK firms
and indirect impacts on the UK economy, for example via global energy prices.</p><p>
</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>However, the impact of the deal will be complex, and the impact
of improved relations with Iran on the UK economy is therefore uncertain.</p><p> </p><p>
