Tehran says the workers at the United Kingdom embassy played “a significant role in the country’s post-election unrest”, and has taken them into custody. The UK has taken a page out of Obama’s playbook. They are deeply concerned:

The British government is “deeply concerned” at the arrest and detention of British Embassy employees in Tehran, the foreign secretary said today.

David Miliband said Britain had protested to the Iranian authorities about the arrests made on Saturday.

He described the detentions as “harassment and intimidation of a kind that is quite unacceptable”. He added: “We want to see (them) released unharmed.”

Good luck with that one, especially with the milquetoast perception Iran has of the US and UK right now. They can do what they want, slaughter their people in the streets, shoot young women in the chest, beat them with sticks, and the leader of the free world voices concern.

That’s it.

Yeah, I’m sure they are really worried.
