    Our embassy property is sovereign land, no different than if this was located in the United States. Therefore, an attack and breach of the embassy represents the same on our country.

    Boxes are loaded into a van outside a residential anex of the Iranian embassy on Dec. 2, 2011 in London.

    Iranian diplomats have chartered a plane and are expected to leave Britain on Friday, expelled by the U.K. government in retaliation for attacks on the British Embassy in Tehran.

    The roughly two dozen Iranian diplomats and their dependents were due to fly out of Heathrow Airport around 4 p.m. (11 a.m. EST).

    The Iranian flag was still flying at Tehran's embassy in London early Friday, as movers were seen carrying packages from what is believed to be the residence of the diplomats a few doors down from the embassy.

    On Tuesday, Iranian protesters stormed and ransacked the U.K. embassy compounds in Tehran.

    In retaliation, Britain ordered Iranian diplomats off its soil, pulled its diplomats out of Iran and backed new sanctions on the Islamic republic.  Read the full story.

Dozens of hard-line Iranian students stormed the British Embassy in Tehran on Tuesday, bringing down the Union Jack flag and throwing documents from windows in scenes reminiscent of the anger against Western powers after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The mob moved into the diplomatic compound two days after Iran's parliament approved a bill that reduces diplomatic relations with Britain following London's support of recently upgraded Western sanctions on Tehran over its disputed nuclear program.

    Protesters carry the royal coat of arms after breaking in to the British Embassy during an anti-British demonstration in the Iranian capital on Nov. 29, 2011 in Tehran, Iran. Relations between the two countries have soured further over recent weeks, with the UK Treasury imposing sanctions on Iranian banks, accusing them of supporting the country's nuclear program. The Iranian authorities insist that its nuclear plans are for peaceful purposes only and parliament has voted to downgrade diplomatic relations with the UK.

     from NBC News services:

    TEHRAN, Iran — Iranian protesters stormed the British Embassy compound in Tehran on Tuesday, smashing windows and burning the British flag during a rally to protest against sanctions imposed by Britain, live Iranian television showed.

    Protesters threw molotov cocktails and one waved a framed picture of Queen Elizabeth apparently found inside the compound, the state TV showed.

    An NBC News cameraman at the scene reported that the protesters tore down the British flag and replaced it with the Iranian flag.

    The Associated Press reported that the protesters, numbering in the dozens, were hardline students and that they clashed with riot police.
