    Default UK expels Iranian ambassador

    Looks like it might be kicking off very shortly goldenmetalavalonians.

    Following storming of UK Embassy in Tehran, London closes down Iranian Embassy, expels all Iranian diplomats. London mulls suppporting embargo on Iranian oil products

    Britain will expel all Iranian diplomats stationed in London following the storming of its embassy in Tehran on Tuesday, Foreign Secretary William Hague announced Wednesday.

    Iranian diplomats of all levels were give 48 hours to leave Britain.

    Hague told the British Parliament that Iranian ambassadors across Europe have been summoned to receive strong protests over the raid.

    "They cannot expect to have a functioning embassy here," he said, adding that despite the move, the UK was still "not severing ties with Iran entirely." Still, relations between London and Tehran have now been downgraded to the lowest level.

    Earlier Wednesday, London announced it was closing down its embassy in Iran and withdrawing all British diplomats stationed in the Islamic Republic. Shortly after, Hague ordered the immediate closure of the Iranian Embassy in London, effectively expelling all diplomatic staff.

    Iran's parliament had previously voted to reduce diplomatic ties with the UK.

    Tuesday's attack, which saw hundreds of protesters storm the British embassy followed Britain's decision to impose further sanctions on Iran over its adamant refusal to suspend its nuclear program.

    Paris strongly condemned the raid and has summoned Iran's current senior envoy to the French capital over the incident.

    French Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bernard Valero indicated that the Iranian Charge d'Affaires Amir Miri has been called in to the Ministry and was told that France "very firmly condemns the attack and unacceptable pillage" at the British mission.

    Germany also summoned the Iranian ambassador to Berlin over the storming of the British embassy in Tehran, saying Iran was bound under international law to protect foreign missions.

    "I gave the order today for the Iranian ambassador to be summoned to the Foreign Ministry," Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle told reporters after talks with his Greek counterpart Stavros Dimas.

    Germany has also recalled its ambassador from Iran for consultations

    Following recent events, britain may support an embargo on Iranian oil imports following, a diplomatic source said. "Now that the UK has downgraded diplomatic relations with Iran, it will support increased sanctions...and would likely go ahead with those sanctions unilaterally or with France and Germany," he said.

    Former UK Foreign Secretary David Miliband urges condemnations of Iran not to lead to a "drumbeat of war". William Hague says the UK is not advocating military action in Iran.

    Just like 1973.
    Even baring in mind this is the so called united kingdom, they would have to use their navy to blockade Iran to stop ships from getting oil.
    That would be an act of war.
    I think you will find they are talking about not allowing Iranian oil into the uk.

    They have been leading up to this for years..Now with wobbles in Pakistan, and both Russia and China Sabre rattling, something big could be in the air.....TPTB behind Israel/US/UK/OZ/Canada/NZ & some other NATO countries, must strike soon before they loose the initiative and the world public catch on to what they are up to.

    "Following storming of UK Embassy in Tehran"... my guess is there is a 99% chances this has been orchestrated by the very people who want this war to happen, and they are not from iran... A classic "action, reaction, solution" as David Hicke or Alex Jones would put it...

    Not to mention the logical raise of oil prices to come.. They always win it on several fronts..
    life is design

    It's to bad, but Iran seems to be giving them the excuse they need to accelerate their plans in the middle east, which would affect the entire planet.

    Iran is in a situation where there may be no win for them.
    They are in the vice.

    this is sickening

    remember what Wesley Clark said





    FFS....we can only watch in dismay as there appears to be nothing anyone can do to stop it. That's the kind of UNrepresentative democracy we have.


    I expect damaging Iran's Space Programme will also be high on the agenda??

    It could get cold in the UK if they anger the Russians. 20% of the gas for heating the UK travels through Russia.

    An article from The Guardian dated 1 Jan 2009:

    Hopes of deep cuts in heating bills for British homes before the winter is out were evaporating yesterday after Russia turned off the gas supply to neighbouring Ukraine over alleged payment arrears, raising concern about the security of supplies throughout Europe.

    Pipelines that cross Ukraine carry about a fifth of the European Union's gas needs and politicians across the continent yesterday urged the two sides to resolve their dispute as quickly as possible.

    Good, I hope it does.
    That will put pressure on those who think they are ''comfortable'' and this doesn't concern them.

    Russia is opposed to military action against Iran and hopefully this might pull the brakes on the steady move towards war/bombing.

    a little bit....maybe ???


    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-15617657
    Quote Military action against Iran would be a "very serious mistake fraught with unpredictable consequences", Russia's foreign minister has warned.

    Sergei Lavrov said diplomacy, not missile strikes, was the only way to solve the Iranian nuclear problem.

    His comments come after Israeli President Shimon Peres said an attack on Iran was becoming more likely.

    that was said on Nov 7th
