UK Closes Iran Embassy; Germany Recalls Ambassador

Barack Obama may still want to negotiate with the psychotic mullahs, but it seems Old Europe is starting to wake up:

LONDON – Britain said on Wednesday it had ordered the immediate closure of Iran’s embassy in London and had closed its own embassy in Tehran after it was stormed by protesters.

“The Iranian charge (d’affaires) in London is being informed now that we require the immediate closure of the Iranian embassy in London and that all Iranian diplomatic staff must leave the United Kingdom within the next 48 hours,” British Foreign Secretary William Hague told parliament.
