TEHRAN, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Shots were fired opposite the main gate of the residential compound of the British Embassy in Iran, but nobody was hurt, a British diplomat said on Monday.

And the next time it happens (and it will happen again!), will Britain protest "very strongly"? How about protesting "with the utmost vigor"? Pfft.

European's feet-dragging may ultimately dig their graves. And ours too.
