UK expels Iranian ambassador

[Lord Sidious]

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.

[eric charles]

Their talks always seem to materlize in this sort of ordeal however , when you think of it

[Ria]

All iranians out there, we do not wont a war.
The governments do not represent the people.
All the people in the west, do not wont a war or believe, in it,
in any way what so ever.
Only the corupt government wont this and to use its people as cannon fodder.

As is usually the case.

This is not cool! Not cool at all. I knew this was coming and now it seems as if the ball is really rolling. Sort your **** out and don't drag all us none consenting innocent souls in to it!

[Cidersomerset]

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..

[Cidersomerset]

Funny you should say that buckminster.... Ecnal 61 and I were having that very discussion in work this morning...

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.

[eric charles]

Camilo , what in world could Iran be giving the U.S/Isreal an excuse attack them , Iran clearly stated it will attack if attacked , end of story

[jaybee]

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 (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jan/02/russia-ukraine-gas-war-eu) 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.

Just move to Canada hahahah we have everything here at 4x the price hehe

I first came across the Wesley Clarke videos here on Avalon when we were all still reeling from what had happened in Libya.

[jaybee]

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

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

[Cidersomerset]

It does seem odd , the embassy was relatively well guarded against a couple of hundred mixed protestors, the a couple of dozen managed to break thru.....
This seems odd as there were police on the scene an usually on such high profile sensitive targets reinforcements would be on hand.....
Eitherside may have wanted this to come to a head...Iran because Russia,China and possibly Pakistan may come to her aid if attacked.
Or The Neo=Cons/Dems who seem to still be working to a agenda to control the oil/poppy/lithium centre ????

I'm listening to ION on cashflow live as usual on a weds....The last couple of weeks they have not been answering email questions, anyway Bob relaxed it and I slipped in a direct question...

Is Israel going to nuke Iran in the near future ? Bob said I'm not going to read that out ! he said will blaa nuke blaa in the near future....

Ion said yes and would trigger off the change of atmosphere in the world to H197 which is a higher radiation level which has already been started by Fukushima and is the start of us coming back into our 'godship' which is another Story which I have

put up here several times.....

46mins 30secs...In segment 11am..

The point for this thread is he said yes.....Ion is a interresting phenomenon if he is genuine then its going to happen......Of course is he what he claims to be !!!! another conundrum !!!

PS If you don't know what I'm on about now and again when I quote Ion, just keep it in your in tray pending more info. He facsinates me whatever he is and if he is right we are looking at reality completely differently than we think !!

Or maybe its already happening? sure seems like something is going on....


key figure in Iran’s missile program has been killed in an explosion at a Revolutionary Guard base in the country. Some reports suggest that the blast which killed Brigade General Hassan Moghaddam and 16 others may have been an act of sabotage.
General Moghaddam was a senior officer involved in developing new long-range ballistic missile designs, and Tehran says many of its missile program’s successes were due to his special skill and expertise.
He and 16 others were killed on Saturday when a shipment of artillery shells detonated at a military site some 25 kilometers west of Tehran. The blast also left 16 people wounded.
US-based radical left-wing commentator Richard Silverstein, who is reputed to have contacts in the Israeli military, said in his blog that he was told the explosion was the work of Mossad. His source said Israeli intelligence had been working with an exile group, the People's Mojaheddin of Iran.
Speculation that the blast was not accidental had been voiced in the Israeli media. No official comments confirming or denying the allegations have been circulated, and none are expected.

Sabotage? Sat-pic shows Iran missile base devastation
http://rt.com/files/news/iran-blast-image-destruction-435/bid-iran-satellite-image-505.n.jpg
Two weeks after a powerful explosion at a military installation near Tehran claiming the lives of 17 people, a Washington-based think tank has released satellite images showing extensive damage to the site, likely to have been caused by the blast.
­The Institute for Science and International Security, (ISIS) a research group, which specializes in studies of nuclear weapons and related technology, has posted two commercial satellite images of the Iranian military compound on its website.

One was taken approximately two months before the November 12th explosion. The other was taken 10 days after the blast and shows that some of the buildings appear to have been destroyed and some debris could be seen strewn about on the ground.

Paul Brannan, a Senior Research analyst for the ISIS however suggests that some of the destruction seen in the image may have also resulted “from subsequent controlled demolition of buildings and removal of debris.” But he concludes that most of the damage seen in the later image “likely resulted from the explosion.” He explains it by a lack of “heavy equipment such as cranes or dump trucks on the site, and a considerable amount of debris still present.”

“About the same number of trucks are visible in the image after the blast as in an image from approximately two months prior to the blast,” he claims.

Brannan also states that “ISIS learned that the blast occurred as Iran had achieved a major milestone in the development of a new missile. Iran was apparently performing a volatile procedure involving a missile engine at the site when the blast occurred.” Brannan quotes no sources for this information on the website, but The Washington Post later said the senior research analyst had obtained it from the “knowledgeable officials”.

Iranian officials maintain the blast was the result of an accidental explosion at an ammunition depot. However some reports suggested that the

From LaRouche:

British Embassy in Tehran Stormed by Protestors

November 30, 2011 • 12:38PM

On Nov. 29, after a demonstration held in front of the British Embassy in Tehran, to protest that government's hostile policies toward Iran, a number of Iranian students from various universities entered the British Embassy compound and pulled down the Union Jack. Iran's semi-official Mehr news agency said protesters took six British diplomatic staff hostage from an embassy compound in the north of the city. Subsequently, the Iranian police moved into the compound and cleared the area of the protestors. The Iranian Foreign Ministry issued a statement on Tuesday night, expressing deep regret over the incident.

Commenting on the incident, Lyndon LaRouche said, "It's wonderful." Hearing that the demonstrators had taken six hostages, he said: "British hostages? Why not? I just hope that they don't get any diseases from the captives."

In addition to chanting "Death to England" and pitching Queen Elizabeth II's portrait out the window, some demonstrators carried portraits of the late Iranian nuclear physicist Majid Shahriari. Dr. Shahriari was killed last November by a magnetic bomb placed by a motorcyclist on his car. On the same day, Fereydoon Abbasi, the head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, was wounded when a motorcyclist detonated a magnetic bomb under his car by remote control. The Iranian government claimed the bomb attacks were orchestrated by the agents of Britain and Israel.

In fact, since 2007, four different Iranian scientists allegedly associated with the nation's nuclear weapons program have died via bomb, gunshot, or poisoning, while a fifth, Abbasi, barely survived a car bombing. The most recent victim, 35-year-old Darioush Rezaeinejad, was shot in the neck outside his daughter's Tehran kindergarten on July 25, 2011, by two gunmen on a motorcycle. According to an unconfirmed report in an Israeli intelligence publication, Rezaeinejad was working on a nuclear detonator, and was seen daily at a nuclear lab in northern Tehran.

It seems our government has become comfortable with skipping steps.

this is cute, but it's never been the people who decide war; always the oligarcy/monarcy/elites etc...

People are generaly good, but there is something like 8% of us who are psycopaths that will do anything... & the current hierchial structure of society is the PERFECT filtration method to bring these people into positions of power.

[jaybee]

Or maybe its already happening? sure seems like something is going on....


I know....that was a weird one. I happened to be watching RT when the news was breaking and I was....oh no....what's going on!!

Then they said Iran said it was an accident...(then the sabotage possibility was speculated)

But what timing if it was an accident....what a ""co-incidence"""

But if it was a an attack from someone else....why didn't Iran say so?

Or did they and we just haven't got to hear about it. But with the internet you would think we would get to hear about it.

Very odd

The problem with Covert Ops is that even the possiblity of success is a danger to the faith in government's ability to protect; & a country that follows islam is a country with pride.....

This is very typical of how covert ops are portrayed in the news, even by the victims.

we already know Iran is on our bad guy list... they still don't have a private central bank right? (no, they still don't http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Bank_of_the_Islamic_Republic_of_Iran) they will be a "bad guy" untill they do.. Just like Iraq, Afganistan, Lybia... bla bla bla...

[Cjay]

Is anyone really surprised? BOTH sides have been sabre-wrattling for 20 years or more.

I can't help but think we are being played again by the media.

I did wonder if national pride could make them keep quiet about it. But that would only work once?? If anywhere else gets hit....?

And keeping quiet would only be adventageous if a deal was being struck behind closed doors...which doesn't seem likely.

Or

if it wasn't obvious what set it all off.

Perhaps it was done with a weapon like a Directed Energy Weapon...so there was no real proof. So the Iranian government kept quiet about it for the time being...?


This is very typical of how covert ops are portrayed in the news, even by the victims.

you have a point

oh noooooooooooo here we go again with the private central bank thing....:(
