Shots have been fired at the British Embassy in the Iranian capital Tehran, the Foreign Office has confirmed.
Nobody was hurt in the attack, in which three or four shots were fired at or near the embassy compound.
It is the second time in a week that the embassy has been targeted. In a similar incident on September 3, it came under fire from gunmen on motorcycles.

I like what a colonel in Iraq called these kind of attacks - miss and run.
