Is anyone else STUPIFIED that the Brits have a manned embassy in Iran after 1979?

They have already shown MULTIPLE TIMES they think the Brits are fat, decadent targets, and that they have NO RESPECT for the sanctity of either an embassy or its personnel.

Iranian protesters storm UK compound in Tehran

Iranian protesters stormed two British Embassy compounds in Tehran Tuesday, smashing windows, hurling petrol bombs and burning the British flag during a rally to protest against sanctions imposed by Britain, live Iranian television showed.

The attacks followed the rapid approval by Iran’s Guardian Council of a parliamentary bill compelling the government to expel the British ambassador in retaliation for the sanctions, and warnings from a lawmaker that angry Iranians could storm the British embassy as they did to the U.S. mission in 1979.

Several dozen protesters broke away from a crowd of a few hundred protesters outside the main embassy compound in downtown Tehran, scaled the embassy gates and went inside. Iranian security forces appeared to do little to stop them.

Love to see the 'help wanted' ad that convinced some poor schmuck to take THAT job.

Love to travel? Don't mind having your hands tied behind your back and a cloth bag placed over your head for extended periods? Want to earn a kings ransom in salary?
