Civilized countries don't do this. But then whoever said Iran was civilized?
And they may have nuclear weapons soon? Wonderful.
Iranian protesters storm UK compound in Tehran
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iranian protesters stormed two British Embassy compounds in
Tehran Tuesday, smashing windows, hurling petrol bombs and burning the
British flag during a rally to protest against sanctions imposed by
Britain, live Iranian television showed.
The attacks followed the rapid
approval by Iran's Guardian Council of a parliamentary bill compelling
the government to expel the British ambassador in retaliation for the
sanctions, and warnings from a lawmaker that angry Iranians could storm
the British embassy as they did to the U.S. mission in 1979.Several dozen protesters broke away from a crowd of a few hundred protesters outside the main embassy compound in downtown Tehran, scaled the embassy gates and went inside. Iranian security forces appeared to do little to stop them.
