Excerpt:

Hundreds of Iranian protesters on Tuesday stormed the British embassy and a UK residential compound in Tehran, burning the Union Jack and reportedly briefly taking hostages, in an escalation of tensions between the two countries over Iran’s nuclear programme.

The UK government advised nationals in Iran to “stay indoors, keep a low profile and await further advice” after the attack on the embassy, which came a day after Iran downgraded its diplomatic relations with Britain in response to fresh UK sanctions aimed at curbing Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.

Maybe they should take over the Iranian Embassy in London, trash it, and hold their diplomats hostage.

I think we have seen this movie before. :rolleyes:

Yeah

The last time it was a group of disaffected Iranians who took over the Iranian embassy in London. The SAS came to town and cleaned house. I remember watching the entire event live on television. I guess it becomes a little more complicated when it happens in another country.

If I was in charge, I'd be dribbling the ol' nuclear basketball.

If I may interupt, I just saw this update:

"The UK is to expel all Iranian diplomats following the storming of its embassy in Tehran, Foreign Secretary William Hague has announced."

"If any country makes it impossible for us to operate on their soil they cannot expect to have a functioning embassy here," - UK Foreign Secretary William Hague

Thanks,

Maybe Iran intelligence should stage a coup in the UK, install a puppet dictator, and steal all their Natural resources for pennies on the pound. :D
