At 9:40 am EST, dozens of Iranian protesters have forced their way into the British embassy in Tehran, tearing down the Union flag and throwing documents from the windows.<\/p>\n

The attack came two days after the Iranian parliament voted to expel the British ambassador, Dominick Chilcott, in retaliation against economic sanctions imposed by the west over the country’s disputed nuclear programme. The Foreign Office said it was “outraged” at the events and that they were “utterly unacceptable.”<\/p>\n

Fars news agency reported on Tuesday that a small group of students chanting “death to England” had replaced the British flag with the Iranian Flag. British and Israeli flags were also reported to have been burnt during the protests. Another semi-official news agency, Ilna, said the protesters had “conquered” the embassy. The episode was shown live on state-run Press TV.<\/p>\n

Around a thousand protesters gathered on the street in front of the embassy, waving pictures of the Iranian nuclear scientist, Majid Shahdirari, who was assassinated last November in Tehran. Others held pictures of another assassinated Iranian scientist, Masoud Ali-Mohammadi, and a senior commander of the elite Revolutionary Guards, Qassem Suleimani, who is said to be in charge of the group’s overseas operations.<\/p>\n

State TV reported that another group of hardline students gathered at the gate of the British ambassador’s residence in northern Tehran, at the same time.<\/p>\n

This event is taking place during a Mercury retrograde within the Sagittarius-Gemini eclipse window, which should at least give you pause to discern what is really happening, if it’s happening, and what IS it that’s truly happening — as should most any news story involving the trifecta of the US, the UK and Tehran.\u00a0<\/em>Despite the history of tense relations between the US and Iran, today’s situation gives me neither fear or alarm. Call it intuition, or call it years of being fed bullshit about our intentions in the Middle East, my eyes and ears are yet to believe what I’m seeing and hearing.\u00a0<\/em>Anyone want to take a guess as to what is occurring behind the scenes? — fb<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
