British embassy attacked in Iran capital Wed. 08 Feb 2006

Tehran, Iran, Feb. 08 – Hard-line radical Islamists attacked the British embassy in Tehran on Wednesday, smashing several of its windows, a day after British Prime Minister Tony Blair warned Iran not to make the “mistake” of thinking that the international community would allow it to develop nuclear weapons.

The demonstrators who were affiliated to the Revolutionary Guards threw stones and sticks at the embassy while chanting, “Death to Britain”.

The International Atomic Energy Agency’s board of governors adopted on Saturday a resolution sponsored by London, along with Paris and Berlin, reporting Iran to the United Nations Security Council for breaches of its international obligations regarding its suspected nuclear weapons program.

We're wasting time.

We need to go in and take out Natanz and the nuke facility in Isfahan, plus others.

If we're waiting for an Iranian nuke test, it will be too late.

Interesting, but the source looks like one that would willingly blow something out of proportion.

Even Drudge has nothing yet

It's becoming increasingly clear that the solution to this situation is going to be a prolonged carpet bombing campaign across the entire country of Iran.

The "student protestors" are probably in their mid 50's by now...how do they have all the engergy to do this?

Seriously, somebody should tell these idiots that the same kind of cowboy is in the White House as when they went all wobbly the last time they messed with the west.

The Mullahs better watch out what they wish for. For now it seems as if they were begging for a fresh breeze.

Cartoon protests turn against UK and US

.....Some 200 demonstrators hurled stones at the British Embassy in Tehran, breaking windows in the building, in a dual protest over the Muhammad cartoons and Britain's stand in Iran's nuclear row with the West.

They chanted "Death to Britain" and "We are willing to sacrifice our lives for the Prophet Muhammad" - even though no UK newspaper has published the cartoons, although glimpses have been shown on BBC television.
"We are here to protest Britain’s role in sending us to the UN Security Council. We must defend our right to nuclear technology," said protester Mohammad Ali, 32.

There were passionate protests elsewhere. Up to 700 people demonstrated against the drawings in Bosnia, walking from the Norwegian to the French and Danish embassies in Sarajevo and handing a written protest to embassy staff....
