Britain today ordered the expulsion of two Iranian diplomats in a retaliatory move that followed the expulsion of two British diplomats from Tehran yesterday.

Announcing the expulsions to parliament, the prime minister, Gordon Brown, said the Iranian action had been "unjustified".

Tit for tat is about it. Off course the mullahs and mad dog want nothing more then complete isolation. It keeps then from having to confront the issues. The less foreigners in their capital and elsewhere the less news of any kind can leak out.
