A group of Iranian diplomats who were expelled from Britain have arrived back in Tehran, Iranian media have said.
A group of supporters chanting slogans such as "Death to Britain" were at the airport to greet them but the diplomats were hustled away by back corridors.
The 25 diplomats were expelled after hundreds of protesters attacked the UK embassy in Tehran on Tuesday.
British officials have said it is likely the attack had the tacit support of Iran's leaders.
It came after Britain levied new sanctions on Iran, banning financial transactions with Iran's financial sector, including its central bank.
The US and Canada adopted similar measures at the same time.
The EU has also tightened its Iran sanctions following a report by the UN's nuclear watchdog that said Iran had carried out tests "relevant to the development of a nuclear device".
