After a two-year hiatus, Britain and Iran have reportedly agreed to restart diplomatic ties and appoint respective charges d'affaires tasked with implementing the rebuilding of relations. 

The two countries severed relations following a 2011 attack on the UK embassy in Tehran. It will reportedly name diplomatic officials in the next two weeks, in an initial move toward reopening its embassies. 

The agreement to rekindle ties comes after a meeting on the sidelines of the so-called P5+1 talks in Geneva over Iran’s nuclear program.
