Tehran, Iran, Jun 02 Britain and France have approved Irans prospective ambassadors, a government-run Persian-language website reported on Friday.
Rasoul Movahedian-Attar and Ali Ahani will soon take over as Irans top envoys to Britain and France respectively.
Ahani had previously been Irans ambassador to Belgium, Luxembourg, France, and the European Union.
In mid-February, Iran Focus reported that Britain had unofficially accepted Movahedian-Attar to take up the post in London which has been vacant since late 2005 when hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad recalled 40 of the countrys ambassadors and envoys as part of a purge of the Islamic Republics diplomats who did not belong to the ultra-Islamist faction.
Movahedian-Attar was previously Tehrans top envoy to the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Portugal.
