Welcome to the British Council Iran website

فارسی

The British Council builds engagement and trust for the UK through the exchange of knowledge and ideas between people worldwide.

Situation in Iran
With regret, we have had to suspend all our operations in Iran, effective 31 January 2009.

Our hope is that we will be able to secure the agreement of the Iranian Authorities to allow us to resume as soon as possible education and cultural programmes between Iran and the United Kingdom for the benefit of the peoples of both countries.

ما امیدواریم که بتوانیم در کوتاه ترین زمان ممکن موافقت مقام های ایرانی را برای ادامه برنامه های فرهنگی و آموزشی ما بین
ایران و بریتانیا که به سود مردم هر دو کشور خواهد بود جلب نماییم.
