Iranian Protesters Storm Uk Embassy

France is temporarily downsizing its embassy in Iran and will bring some employees and their families home, a French official said on Saturday. The move is the latest fallout from protesters' storming of the British embassy in Tehran and adds to the international pressure on the Iranian government.

Britain was on Wednesday evacuating all its diplomatic staff from Iran following the storming of its embassy by Iranian protesters the day before, Western diplomatic sources told AFP.
