Hundreds of Iranian students have pulled down the UK flag and demanded the expulsion of the British envoy to Tehran, Press TV reports on Tuesday.
Following the approval of a bill aimed at downgrading ties with the UK by the Iran's Majlis parliament, students from different universities stormed into the British embassy in Tehran, calling on the Iranian government to make haste in implementing the bill.
The bill, which was also approved unanimously by Iran's Guardian Council on Monday, obliges the country's Foreign Ministry to expel Dominick John Chilcott within two weeks, thus reducing diplomatic ties with the UK government to the level of charge d'affaires.
