LONDON – Britain's foreign secretary William Hague said Wednesday that the UK was ordering the immediate closure of the Iranian embassy in London, and Britain was shutting down its embassy in Tehran.

"We require the immediate closure of the Iranian embassy in London and that all Iranian diplomatic staff must leave the United Kingdom within the next 48 hours," Hague told British lawmakers in a statement to parliament. "If any country makes it impossible for us to operate on their soil they cannot expect to have a functioning embassy here."

The US should do the same immediately.

Uhoh, not looking good.
I expect we’ll see muzzy rioting before long.

I love things like this, it shakes up the Muslim mindset that it is okay for them to behave the way they do.

We still have an embassy in Iran?

I hope they make it...

No.

> We still have an embassy in Iran?

Oh, wait. That’s right. The iranian islam0-fascists destroyed it in 1980. One of the “occupiers” was Mahmood Amadi-Jihad hisse’f.

Not since Jimmah Cahtah...

“I hope they make it...”

Yes; let's hope they get everyone out safely. Things are blowing up over there; and the barbarians are storming the gates

Need to correct my spelling.

occupier should be 0ccupier (leading zer0)
and Mahmood should be Mahm00d (double zero).

You’re kidding, right? The IRI doesn’t care. They are not shaken by this. They will do it again when they feel like it.

The Brits are out of Iran. They have now given notice to Iranian diplomats in London that they must leave the country.

[Mich Patriot]

I like this “we’re not taking your crap anymore” move.

[nuconvert]

It’s not destroyed. It’s still there

Norway also pulling embassy staff....I suspect others will follow suite....might be time is soon for taking out irans nuclear sites. Embassy staff are usually first sign of happenings to soon follow.....with Israel seen moving missles to it’s border recently....much begins to form a picture of possibilities likely to take place soon....often this occurs prior to a war or military conflict.

I was thinking about the Muslims who perceive themselves as moderate and believe they can follow their religion and still be part of the civilized world. The lie that they tell themselves about how their beliefs are part of the modern world while their sons slip off to join radical movements and plot to blow up innocent people. The radicals have already rejected the West and you are right do not care.

Or as the Manchild calls it, "the English Embassy." They should revoke his citizenship.

I’m sure the “students” that stormed the embassy are still welome to visit the UK though, unlike Michael Savage.

I didn’t think so. If we did, it’d have been trashed long ago before the English/British embassy was or at the same time if we did. (Obama doesn’t seem to know the difference).
