#1 Sounds like the Iranians want to repeat the hostage-taking incident involving the US Embassy in Tehran in 1979, except this time, with the Brits as the victims. What's to stop them?

#2 Excellent point, ZF...

Think there's some "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" stuff going on between the "riot police" and the basji thugs "protesting" at the embassy? If so, your suggestion might, indeed, be prescient.

#3 Notice to Brits: When the ragheads come over the wall, shoot first and ask questions later.

#4 Storming the embassy seems like a bad idea when there is a British armoured brigade next door. They can make southwestern Iran very mullah unfriendly territory. And don't even mention the 150,000 heavily armed Americans with a grudge and desire for payback.
