The protesters, chanting "God is Greatest" and "Europe, Europe, shame on you", smashed all the diplomatic mission's windows with stones and then tried to hurl petrol bombs inside.
Austria currently holds the presidency of the European Union. Protesters also waved placards and shouted slogans against the EU's stance on Iran's nuclear programme.
The bombs exploded in flames against metal grilles guarding the windows.
Further demonstrations were planned for later on Monday outside the Danish and Norwegian embassies in Tehran.

"OK, Ahmed, we've burned down the Norwegian, Danish, Swiss, Belgian, French, German, and British embassies...anybody left?"
"Ummm....Iceland! We haven't gotten mad at Iceland yet!"
(Together) "Death to Iceland!"
What is the count so far on the embassies burned and gutted? Did I hear correctly that somewhere they murdered a Catholic priest in one of their rampages? I have been out of the loop a bit since Saturday.
Still mad over losing the Battle of Vienna?
Which is my read also. But I keep asking myself, why nothing here?
The Catholic Priest was slaughtered in Turkey. :(
Savages!
Maybe they were overheard snickering at it......
Somewhat cynically.....
I'm wondering if they don't work for the cia or mossad as agents provacateur.
By getting them to riot like this over a cartoon they've done more to hurt the worlds view of TROP then words can express....
"I don't recall that any Austrian newspapers even printed the cartoon."
They don't care. All whites look alike to them. We are all degenerate infidels who must be beheaded, or firebombed, whatever the current "in" punishment for westerners happens to be at the moment.
Time to go stock up on ammo.
Nope. They get around that argument by believing that Mohammad was the last prophet and that any piece of inane jibberish that he gurgled out during his entire dufus life supersedes everything that came before.
good one
Ah, further proof the Iranian regime ginned up these protests to deflect from their own nuclear ambitions.
Like bin laden, they want this to become a wide-open war of religions.
Not only Irony is lost on them but the humor bus passed them by too!
If Muhammed has never been depicted, then how did they know it was Muhammed??
Okay I'm hijacking your FR name.......
Just who are they alienating?
Jimmy Carter had the Shah of Iran, our ALLY, overthrown and supported the AYATOLLAH coming in!! Carter was the most inept, dictator-loving president ever.
Yes, they killed a priest ...a man/boy yelling "Allah Akbar"!!
Don't they also believe that Muhammed's HORSE and CHARIOT went up to heaven??? Geesh.
