Iran envoy to UK threatened with death

Baeidinejad posted an Instagram image on his Twitter page belonging to Hossein Marashi Qazvini, a devotee of the Shirazi cult containing his insults directed at Baeidinejad, threatening him with assassination.

The attackers stormed the compound of the Iranian Embassy on Friday night, hoisting their flag on the balcony of the building without facing any reaction on the part of the London police.

“The group attacking the Iranian Embassy in London represents an extremist Shia community. They have a sectarian interpretation of the Shia and insist on insulting the grand Sunni leaders. The UK government, however, has an unwavering commitment to assure the inviolability of the Embassy,” Iranian envoy to the UK Hamid Baeidinejad said earlier in a Twitter message.

In the wake of last night attack on Iranian Embassy in London, Iranian Foreign Ministry summoned the UK envoy to Tehran Nicholas Hopton.

Meanwhile, a spokesman in the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office said that London will seriously take its duties based on the Geneva Conventions.
