LONDON - Britain said on Wednesday it had ordered the immediate closure of Iran's embassy in London and had closed its own embassy in Tehran after it was stormed by protesters. "The Iranian charge (d'affaires) in London is being informed now that 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," British Foreign Secretary William Hague told parliament. "We have now closed the British embassy in Tehran. We have decided to evacuate all our staff and as of the last few minutes, the last of our UK-based staff have now left Iran," he said. Hague also announced that Iranian ambassadors had been summoned in countries across Europe to receive strong protests over the storming of the British embassy.

It is getting pretty touchy between UK and Iran. Interesting times and so much going on at once.

At least the SAS won't have to storm it, and it cuts off an intel asset....though there's more than enough of a support base in Londonistan and all the other enclaves to make the coming war promise to be interesting indeed. Not just a fifth column, a sixth, seventh and eighth, and that isn't even counting Prince Charles of Arabia, the banks and the schmedia.
