Mullahs unleash "regime's chomaaqdaaraan" at UK embassy in Iran

Hundreds of Iranian Islamists known as "chomaaqdaaraan" on Wednesday pelted the British embassy in Tehran with tomatoes, stones and firecrackers in response to mounting pressure on Tehran's nuclear programme.

"Death to America, Death to Britain, Death to Israel," the chomaaqdaaraan ranted, also calling for the expulsion of Britain's ambassador to Iran, Richard Dalton.

Watched by scores of police, they held aloft banners reading "Britain, France and Germany: Axis of Evil", and "NPT, we will leave you soon", referring to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Another placard read: "Down with union of Hitlerism, Europe, US and 'Zionism".

Several windows were shattered by chomaaqdaaraan stone-throwers, and tyres were set alight before anti-riot police moved in to put an end to the state-approved protest.

The British embassy in Tehran has in recent years been regularly targetted by regime's chomaaqdaaraan angered by Britain's participation in the US-led invasion of Iraq, and broken windows have become a regular annoyance for embassy staff.
