Members of the Basij militia attend a military parade to mark Basij week in front of the former U.S. embassy in Tehran Nov 25. Iranian protesters entered the British embassy compound in Tehran today and removed the mission's flag, replacing it with an Iranian one, an AFP journalist at the scene reported.
The dozens of protesters were also shown live on Iranian state television throwing stones at embassy windows, breaking them, and one was seen climbing the wall with a looted portrait of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II.
