Matters continue to shake up in the Middle East following the recent IAEA report on the Iranian’s current nuclear program before the fallout was largely amongst political figureheads in discussing new or increased international sanctions against Iran, various countries proceeded with their own actions to include Britain cutting all financial ties with Iranian banks. A week later, Iranians stormed the British embassy after a rally escalated toward violence where the protesters replaced the flag, threw around office equipment and set parts of the embassy on fire. British Foreign Secretary William Hague admonished Iran in his statement, “the idea that the Iranian authorities could not have protected our embassy or that this assault could have taken place without some degree of regime consent is fanciful.” Following the actions, the UK has ordered all Iranian diplomats out of their country within 48 hours.
