Ahmadinejad site calls for abandoning security for various embassies in Tehran

Iran Press News: Translation by Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzi.
In view of the recent attacks on various European embassies in Tehran, the regime-run site AFTAB quoted KHEDMAT, a website which during the flim flam presidential elections of June was Ahmadinejads official site, asking why there is special and unique security for the British Embassy. Khedmat's article also divulges that the documents, files and archives of this embassy are actually kept in another location, in the Baaq'eh Qolhak district of Tehran, which is entirely separate from the embassy grounds, itself.

Quoting an anonymous "foreign policy expert" the site makes clear references to various historical problems known to have been stirred up by England in the past and indicates specifically that specific documents prove that the recent riots in the southern city of Ahvaaz has been entirely orchestrated by said embassy. The expert said: "Given this, it is entirely unclear as to the exact reason why special and unique security is provided to such agitators and troublemakers. At a time when Britain is one of the instigators behind the Islamic regimes nuclear dossier referral to the United Nations Security Council, protecting them by maintaining a security barrier for them is unjustifiable."

It is important to state that based on international law, providing security for foreign embassies and diplomats is the duty of the host country and all damages brought against the embassy would be considered the responsibility of the host government.
