UK warns Iran over embassy attack


UK Prime Minister David Cameron has warned Iran of "serious consequences" after protesters stormed the British embassy and a UK compound in Tehran.
Offices were ransacked and flags burned in the attacks, which followed a demonstration against sanctions imposed on Iran over its nuclear programme.
Mr Cameron described the attacks as "outrageous and indefensible".
The US and EU also condemned the attacks. Iran's foreign ministry expressed "regret" for the incidents.
The demonstrations followed a vote in Iran's parliament to reduce diplomatic ties with Britain in retaliation for imposing further sanctions.
