3. they had it on MSNBC earlier
Didn't they already leave? I think they also said no one was injured. Hopefully, I heard that right.

Iranian Students Storm British Embassy, Raise Palestinian Flag

Matthew Borghese - AHN Editor

Tehran, Iran (AHN) - Iranian students, outraged at the United Kingdom's support for the ongoing Israeli military offensive in the Gaza Strip, briefly stormed the British Embassy in Tehran before police forced them from the residence.

According to Iranian state-run media, several dozen students broke into the compound on Tuesday evening, tearing down the British flag and replacing it with the Palestinian banner.

The rally lasted a little over an hour before authorities restored calm to the embassy.

6. Looks like the Iranian government is trying to divert attention
for their horrible economy which is falling apart at the seams and making Ahmadinasshole vulnerable to a coup d'etat. Same thing with the storming of our Embassy in 1979 when the weakened Shah of iran could do nothing to stop the unhappy Iranians and brought about the Iranian revolution under Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. This time the Mullahs may be in trouble
