Iran’s milking this one for all it’s worth.

(Daily Mail) — Scores of hardline Iranian university students gathered outside the British embassy in Tehran today to condemn Britain’s ‘savage’ suppression of a ‘popular uprising’ against the ‘dictatorial royal regime of England’.

Many chose to wear masks of Mark Duggan, the man shot dead by police that sparked the riots, during their state-sponsored protest while others displayed placards.

One poster brought by a protester said ‘Death to the corrupt British monarchy’ while another proclaimed ‘Royal wedding equals economic austerity.’

Police were on hand to ensure that events did not turn violent.

The head of Iran’s Basij street militia, Brigadier Mohammad Reza Naghdi, predicted on Saturday that the ‘popular awakening’ in Britain was ‘just the beginning’ and it ‘would spread to the heart of Europe’.

And a senior parliamentarian, Parviz Sorouri, said: ‘The world is now coming to the conclusion that Western civilisation has no foundation and is unreal.’

In the past week, Iran’s authoritarian regime has teased London with offers to send human rights observers to Britain.
