RNA - "The British government is definitely responsible for protecting the safety and security of political representation delegations in that country, including the Iranian embassy in London, and they have taken flawed action to stop the raid of a number of thugs who have been selected by foreigners," Velayati told reporters in Tehran on Saturday.
"Had the British government and police wanted, they would have managed to stop the raid of some thugs on the Iranian embassy," he added.
According to Fars News Agancy, Velayati said that the British government should account for its ignorance and flawed performance.
Several Britain-based Shiite extremists affiliated to Sadeq Shirazi sect attacked the Iranian embassy premises in London, while menacing the staffers with cold weapons.
Four men opened their way into the embassy premises at 16:30 local time, while threatening people on the scene with machetes and baseball bats. The London Police deployed around the embassy but took no action in the first couple of hours after the attack. Later reports said the attackers were arrested after three hours.
