A group of Iranian "students" have ransacked the British embassy in Tehran. Julian Borger situates the attack in context of nuclear tensions:
[T]his is very much part of the Iranian push back against the diplomatic and economic pressure on Tehran following this month's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report on the Iranian nuclear programme, reporting that there was 'credible' evidence that Iran had experimented with a nuclear warhead design and might still be. In the wake of the report, the UK was the first to take punitive action, cutting off dealings with Iran's central bank. Hence, the call from the Iranian parliament, the Majlis, last week to downgrade diplomatic relations with London.
The Guardian liveblog is keeping close tabs on developments. In a photo that's fast becoming iconic, one protestor made off with a Pulp Fiction poster:
