Britain’s Foreign Secretary says the U.K. has withdrawn its entire diplomatic staff from Iran following attacks on the country’s embassy and a residential compound in Tehran.
William Hague told the House of Commons on Wednesday that Britain had also ordered all Iranian diplomats to leave the U.K.
Mobs hauled down British flags and ransacked offices in Tehran on Tuesday in retaliation for Britain’s support of tighter sanctions against Iran over its nuclear program.
Hague said Britain and allies would consider other measures in response at a European Union meeting Thursday.
He said it was “fanciful” to believe the attacks did not take place with support from Iran’s regime.

I’m curious why/how England had an embassey in iran in the first place? I assume the US has not been there since before 1979, and Israel has probably never been there. The English are so different?
1. You are about as ignorant as your President. England has NO embassies ANYWHERE.
They also burnt an Israeli flag. What is Israel going to withdraw from Iran? A few more explosions at strategic sites should do the trick.
Mark, that was mean of you to say. Sorry, “Great Britain.” And even worse than your meanness, you associated me with Obama, CV’S.
My question is the same, why did Great Britain even have an embassey there in the first place?
No. 4: You are getting warmer. Great Britain is the island northwest of France, west of Skandanavia and east of the Atlantic Ocean on which sit the nations of England, Scotland and Wales. The United Kingdom is the sovereignty which consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Your assumption that the US has not had an embassy in Iran since before 1979 overlooks the event of 1979 that has resulted in the rift between the US and Iran, i.e., the seizure of the US Embassy by radical supporters of Ayatolah Kohmeni. But you were close. That No. 2 guy is indeed mean.
4. Any time nfgo3 claims something about me, I take it as a compliment so thanks charliehall wanna be.
I am sorry for comparing you to Obama. Btw, how many states do we have?
