Here We Go Again?

Iranian Students storm British Embassy in Tehran.  From The Wall Street Journal:
Student protesters loyal to the government stormed the British embassy in Tehran and its residential compound Tuesday in the most serious security breach of diplomatic sites since the American embassy takeover in 1979.

Live television footage from Iran's state broadcaster showed angry mobs climbing on the wall of the British embassy building in downtown Tehran and two young men attempting to break the lock on the iron gate of the compound. They brought down the Union Jack flag and raised Iran's, according to Iranian news media, and took some occupants hostage which were later released.
Here is the article at al Jazeera.

Does anyone remember the last time?
