Iranian students storm British embassy in Tehran
Students clash with riot police after London backs harsher US sanctions against Iran
Dozens of Iranian students have stormed the British embassy in Tehran, bringing down the British flag and throwing documents from windows.
The students clashed with riot police, chanting: "The embassy of Britain should be taken over!" and "Death to England!"
The incident comes two days after the Iranian parliament approved a bill that reduces diplomatic relations with Britain in protest at London's support of US sanctions on Tehran, which Washington recently stiffened

They probably have a massive cache of "Death" stacked some where, other wise they should've ran out of it by now.Originally Posted by Doktor

Fortitude.....The strength to persist...The courage to endure.
As per the script, the UK has given the Iranians 48hrs to quit their Embassy and hightail it out of here.
That is it?As per the script, the UK has given the Iranians 48hrs to quit their Embassy and hightail it out of here.
Sorry Mr. Lunkins I don't think it will suffice and I believe your government is partly culprit in this lawlessness.
Back then city of Basra being under British forces control, ended up being the safe haven for Moqtada Al Sadr and IRGC's Badr brigade operatives while British government chided US forces for the massive surge against insurgency in Iraq.
In spring of 2007 British Navy sailors were illegally captured in international waters (proven by coordinate presented and publicly televised by British gov. that indeed sailors were in international waters) and kept as hostage for 13 days, while humiliating and rallying them on international TV and changing their attire to civilian clothing and accepting "gifts" from Dinnerjackets British gov. expressed satisfaction for them being released and back home safe.
The British gov. should've done and aftermath of embassy takeover should do something for IRI to take note. Otherwise it will continue.
Of course such a policy might be wiser if backed by credible force. Sadly any and all 'Defence Reviews' here over the last 30 yrs are just a form of 'death by a 1000 cuts'. It is now confirmed that of the two new carriers HMS QE is unlikely to be ready for service before 2030 and HMS PoW will be mothballed. Pig disgusting.
I'm a little confused here. If Britain is part of the NATO, and NATO carries out military operations collectively under one banner, is there some sort of "sharing" formula with respect to the resources deployed and the spoils won? My point is, does the storming of the British embassy not require concerted action by other NATO members as well automatically? Both diplomatically as well as militarily if need be? Or is it an organization of consensus of convenience only? If the British carriers are not available, call in the French, the Americans .....

From Washington Treaty
Article 5
The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognised by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area.
Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security.

So a NATO embassy stormed that is not in either Europe or North America needs to be taken up individually by the member country?
As per rules of diplomacy/war that I read somewhere, the premises of an embassy constitute part of the sovereign land of the nation in the host country. For example, like an aircraft carrier at deep sea.
It is covered in 1963 in Vienna:

As for your comment... The US didn't go full scale in 1979, why would UK do it now?

Les Frogs origionaly were origionaly supposed to have a new carries (of the same Class) too but their demands for specification changes both on a trivial and major level: They wanted steam catapults and we didn't; they need fancy nosheries and garlic storage facilities and we don't etc etc etc meant their one carrier would be extra expensive so they backed out.
