British calls for diplomatic walkout from Iran are rejected by EU partners

British calls for a mass walkout of European Union ambassadors from Tehran were shot down by more cautious nations led by Germany and Italy yesterday as the carefully constructed European consensus on responding to Iran came under intense strain.

Britain, backed by the outgoing Czech presidency of the EU, had pushed for the dramatic step of a temporary withdrawal of ambassadors to pile pressure on Tehran to free local British Embassy staff from custody.

With the release of all but two of the nine staff by yesterday afternoon, the incoming Swedish presidency of the EU, which took the reins on Wednesday, struck a less aggressive diplomatic note, more in tune with Berlin and a number of other EU capitals.

Carl Bildt, Sweden’s Foreign Minister, said last night that the EU had called on Iran to release all the British Embassy employees, but added that the EU was still awaiting a response from Tehran. Suggesting that it was too early to recall the ambassadors, Mr Bildt said: “We are taking this step by step.”

Wgm1919,

 

A “coup”? Only someone who lacks the smallest amount of decency and ability to think can fabricate such BS.

 

You call that a “coup”???? Furthermore, IRI regime is one, if not the most, isolated regimes in the world. After the latest heroic uprising by the people, the few remaining confused souls who actually thought something of this government turned its back on it too! But a few “extremely” confused souls like yourself remain still!

the only Coup was the one by your Ahmadi/Khamenei
the only foreign involvement in recent events was by Hezbollah and Hamas thugs beating Iranian youth.
your lies don't work anymore except for your own brainwashed clan...
