Iranian protesters storm UK embassy

Dozens of young Iranian men have entered buildings inside the British embassy compound in Tehran, throwing rocks, petrol bombs and burning documents looted from the offices. The semi-official Fars news agency said security forces were trying to eject the protesters, who were a minority from a larger group staging an anti-UK demonstration outside the compound. The agency referred to the protesters as students who were chanting "Death to America", "Death to England" and "Death to Israel" among other slogans. Al Jazeera's Dorsa Jabbari, reporting from Tehran, said that the police and various ministries had prior knowledge of the protest, which was organised by the student arm of the Basij armed group.

Revolutionary Guard’s calling card  Â

There was little dissembling the official nature of the Iranian demonstration that stormed the British embassy and residence in Tehran yesterday. Police used teargas and secured the release of six embassy employees taken by what the semi-official Fars news agency called hardline students. But the students themselves included members of the paramilitary basij brigades and carried banners naming Qassem Suleimani, the commander of the Quds Force, which runs the overseas operations of the Revolutionary Guard. This may not have been a government-sanctioned operation but it was an official one, with three conservative institutions, the parliament, the judiciary and the supreme leader, behind it.

Khamenei: Islamic system’s perseverance inspires nations

Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has said that the perseverance of the Islamic system has been inspiring people around the world. The Leader made the remarks in an address to thousands of basijis (volunteer forces) from across the country during a meeting held in Tehran on Sunday to commemorate Basij Week, which started on November 21 and ends on November 27. Ayatollah Khamenei dismissed the West s allegations that Iran provoked the popular uprisings in the Arab world, noting, "The Islamic Republic does not need to do such things because the survival, perseverance, and honesty of the Islamic system is by itself inspiring and is guiding nations."
