A large number of Iranian students and seminaries have gathered in front of the British embassy in Tehran, the country\u2019s capital, demanding for the expulsion of UK ambassador, Robert Macaire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The students are protesting the envoy\u2019s participation and role in last night protest rallies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Recall that Iranian authorities had on Saturday arrested and briefly detained Macaire for organising and provoking tens of protesters upset with government\u2019s admission that its military fired down Ukrainian airliner killing 176 persons on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Iranian students and seminaries, who gathered in front of the British embassy on Sunday chanted \u2018death to Britain\u2019, \u2018we do not want British spy\u2019, \u2018the British nuclear deal should be annihilated\u2019 and \u2018the British embassy should be closed\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They also carried images of IRGC Qods Force Commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani who was assassinated by the US in Iraq, and voiced strong support for the IRGC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A senior Iranian legislator blasted Macaire for participating and promoting the protest rally, calling on him to end his interference in Iran\u2019s internal affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe undue presence of the British ambassador in some gatherings is a flagrant interference in Iran\u2019s affairs and it should be studied at the parliament, specially the National Security Commission,\u201d Hossein Ali Haji Deligani said, addressing an open session of the parliament in Tehran on Sunday, according to Far News Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI call on the British envoy to end his interference and leave Iran before the Iranian nation forces him to leave,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
