Protesters including students gathered outside the mission, chanting slogans and waving signs critical of Britain and Britain's ambassador to Iran, Rob Macaire.

Britain said its ambassador in Iran was briefly detained on Saturday (January 11), which Iranian media said was because he was inciting protests. The envoy said he attended a vigil for plane victims.

British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab condemned his arrest and said Iran "can continue its march towards pariah status ... or take steps to de-escalate tensions" with diplomacy.
