The Islamic Republic of Iran is the undisputed champion of attacking embassies. They've attacked US embassies in Iran, Iraq, and Lebanon (Twice), Israeli embassies in Argentina and Thailand, and the British and Saudi embassies in Iran, just to name a few... The fact that they are complaining and threatening to retaliate just now, after having pulled this same exact same shit multitudes of times almost continuously throughout their entire history, is laughably ironic. -from Redditor Ballistic09
