Iran to UK: 'You'll pay for this'
In an earlier post, I reported that Britain had shut down Iran's embassy in London and ordered all of the mullahcracy's 'diplomats to leave within 48 hours. Now, Iran is threatening Britain for shutting down its embassy in London. Iranian parliament's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee Chairman Aladdin Burucerdi warned Wednesday that the UK will suffer "the consequences" of its decision to expel Iranian diplomats stationed in London following the storming of its embassy in Tehran on Tuesday.France, The Netherlands, Italy and Germany have all recalled their ambassadors to Iran for 'consultations.'
Following the announcement by UK's Foreign Secretary William Hague on Wednesday, Burucerdi called other European countries to avoid taking similar measures, after Germany, the Netherlands, France and Italy had already taken diplomatic steps against Iran.
"We recommend that other European countries avoid following in Britain's and the Unites States' footsteps," Burucerdi said. "The parliament approved downgrading the diplomatic relations with Britain but Iran's public is pleased that the British diplomats are no longer in Tehran."
Endangering diplomats is one of the few things that can even rile up the Europeans, and Iran's failure to protect the British embassy on Tuesday has apparently touched a raw nerve. Whether this will translate into a new willingness to impose effective sanctions against Iran even at the cost of each individual country's trade with the Islamic state remains to be seen.

Meanwhile, in London and other major British cities, the number of Iranian-regime sponsored mosques grows, without planning permission and, in London at least, very close to Jewish areas!!

Showing the lengths the Brits go in their ongoing appeasement of Islamic republic.
