Everything old is apparently really is new again:

A group of Iranian demonstrators stormed the British diplomatic compound in Tehran to protest London's stance towards the Israeli onslaught on Gaza, state news agency IRNA reported. "A large group of people and students entered the Gholhak gardens, which are occupied by the British embassy to protest at Britain's policies in supporting the Zionist regime and put up the Palestinian flag there," IRNA said Tuesday. A media officer at the British embassy in Tehran confirmed the report adding that diplomatic police had driven the demonstrators out. "We do confirm the raid on our premises. We are in contact with Islamic republic authorities to resolve the matter," Mitra Behnam told AFP.

Which would make sense if it didn't seem like there was a series of coordinated government-sponsored embassy attacks going on:

Iranian students protested outside the Jordanian Embassy and staged a demonstration in front of Egyptian interests section in Tehran... The Jordanian Embassy in Tehran was attacked with explosives, at midnight Tehran time, last night. The Embassy spokesman has confirmed this report. Several Jordanian citizens were inside the embassy during the attack; no one however sustained any injuries. The spokesman also said that he was not certain about the identity of those responsible for the attacks... A large number of Iranian students from several universities staged a demonstration in front of Egyptian interests section in Tehran to oppose to the country's silence over Israel's attacks against Gaza Strip.

At times like this I like to remember the recommendations of our foreign policy elite: we should engage Iran because it will turn moderate students against the mullahs. Then I like to drink heavily.

On a different note: Britain's insufficiently anti-Israel or pro-Iranian? Really? Really
