Yesterday stormed Iranian "students" the British Embassy in Tehran and briefly detained Embassypersonnel.This were all members of the Basij militia and, different from other protests, the securityguards allowed them to ramsack the building and only later did police officers in riot gear begin a somewhat lackadaisical effort to remove the protesters from the grounds.
The embassypersonnel will be evacuated from Iran. It is not known whether the embassy remains open.
The attack looked like the one on the American Embassy in 1979. Many of the chants were alike.
