The United States has condemned the storming of the British embassy in Iran. Obama’s press secretary issued the following statement:

The United States condemns in the strongest terms the storming of the British Embassy in Tehran. Iran has a responsibility to protect the diplomatic missions present in its country and the personnel stationed at them. We urge Iran to fully respect its international obligations, to condemn the incident, to prosecute the offenders, and to ensure that no further such incidents take place either at the British Embassy or any other mission in Iran. Our State Department is in close contact with the British government and we stand ready to support our allies at this difficult time.

Iran has reportedly reacted to the storming of the embassy in Tehran by arresting a number of protesters. The Iran foreign ministry has issued a statement saying it regrets the attack and that it is committed to the safety of diplomats.

British officials had earlier talked with the Iranian charge in London and urged Iranian authorities to “act with utmost urgency to ensure the situation is brought under control and to protect our diplomatic compound, as they are obliged to do under international law,” according to a report posted on The Telegraph website.

International law, however, is only followed by Britain and the United States when politically advantageous.

For instance, the U.S. violated international law in 2007 when it raided the Iranian Liaison Office in Arbil, Iraq, which was at the time in the process of becoming accredited as an officially recognized consulate.

A d v e r t i s e m e n t

The U.S. insisted the office was being used by Iranian Revolutionary Guards as a local headquarters. However, both Iranian and Kurdish Autonomous Region officials said it was a diplomatic mission in the city of Arbil located in Iraqi Kurdistan.

Following the raid, the U.S. illegally detained a number of Iranian diplomats for a period of two and a half years. It had kidnapped the officials after failing to grab the deputy head of the Iranian Supreme National Security Council, Mohammed Jafari, and chief of intelligence of the IRGC, General Manuchehr Frouzandeh. Both were on an official visit to Iraq in an effort to improve bilateral security. They met the Iraqi president Jalal Talabani.

The raid came hours after George W. Bush delivered an address to the nation claiming Iran provided “material support for attacks on American troops.” Bush issued threats against Iran and Syria. “We will disrupt the attacks on our forces. We will interrupt the flow of support from Iran and Syria. And we will seek out and destroy the networks providing advanced weaponry and training to our enemies in Iraq,” he declared.

The following month, in February of 2007, Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, admitted that there was no evidence the Iranian government was supporting insurgents in Iraq.

The Iranian people have been suspicious of U.S. and British diplomats and embassies since Operation Ajax, the successful effort by the CIA in 1953 to overthrow the democratically elected president of Iran, Muhammad Mossadeq, and install the brutal dictator and monarch Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, also known as the Shah of Iran. The leader of Operation Ajax was Kermit Roosevelt, Jr., a senior CIA agent, and grandson of the former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt.

The CIA coup and the fact Iranians considered the U.S. embassy in Tehran a “nest of spies” led in part to the takeover of the embassy in 1979 during the Iranian Revolution. In the United States, the hostage-taking was widely regarded as an outrage that violated a centuries-old principle of international law granting diplomats immunity from arrest. Accordingly, diplomatic compounds are considered inviolable.

Of course, as the 2007 incident in Iraq demonstrates, it depends on what country has its embass

I as an American support the hostage taking by Iran people of British personell. It is to bad they were not able to take all the British consoles into custody. The only the British and American gov has done is set up puppet dictatorships and rob and make the people of Iran miserable.
Hi Everybody…………….Enough is enough. After remaining divided on this issue for too long, it is time to take a stand regardless of the political consequences…It is time to join with those who have already had the courage to weather the inevitable criticism from a biased, bought, and paid for press corps that is part of the greater problem American face….It is time to end the DOUBLE STANDARD that for far too long has guided and distorted America’s policies in the Middle East….. the world…You guys reckon Congressman Ron Paul will be able to do……if he gets to the white house……
Thanks
Best Wishes
What’s going on here is the whole world gone crazy ???? Are the leaders of all the major countries all apart of this…..Russia, China and the West….Iran are they all just playing their part in the destruction of the modern world, so they can all come together after WW3 and millions have been slaughtered to propose a One World Government??? They know that after this problem…reaction….solution the people will be begging for a lasting peace no matter what the price. I prey that this is not what is going on, but when you see Russia, Iran and China posturing and engaging in the Madness that the West is promoting, it makes you wonder. Why are so many people so stupid and look at you like your crazy for mentioning any of this stuff, they think the reccession is just temporary and things are going to just bounce back to the way it was ten years ago. I hope that those responsible are held accountable one day and are hung from the highest tree in a public square for all to see……Good old fashioned American Justice, after a fair trial that our Forefathers would be proud of

well if the leaders are not in this who are?

Priome minister Harper publicly saluted the Canadian military of a afganistan mission well done a Victory like he stated. Anyone can see who works for the war machine and who doesn’t.

The only political candidate not in that category is Dr Ron Paul. He stands for what he talks.He is not a hypocrit and this is why the NWO are trying to ignore him. Lets hope the good people of America do not fall in that trap?

Go Ron Paul Go your message is of the most importance. They can ignore the messenger but the message filters out the more they try to silence the messenger.

strange how truth is subtle and cannot be stopped from going around.
Why would the British even have an embassy in Iran?

What possible reason except an excuse to move people in and out of Iran for spying.

Same reason Iranians took over the US embassy in the 70′s.

Iranians are sick of the west always screwing with them. So are many countries. They hold out their hands and take the US aid but they all hate us.
the americans and british talking about international law? that is fcking hilarious!!! hooo… funny shit…
