Iran Putting British Embassy Staff on Trial

Last week, when Iran was blaming the BBC and Voice of America for inciting the "riots" among Iranians, they also arrested British embassy staff in Tehran allegedly for doing the same thing.

And now, al-Arabiya reports:

The head of Iran's powerful Guardians Council, Ahmad Jannati, said embassy staff have "made confessions" and said "in these incidents, their embassy had a presence, some people were arrested. Naturally they will be put on trial."

The British government insists these charges are completely unfounded and says that seven of the nine staff members originally arrested have been released. 

And it looks like the U.S. isn't the most hated anymore:

In his first speech since the unrest began, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei slammed Britain as the "most evil" of the Islamic Republic's enemies, which Prime Minister Gordon Brown said was "unfortunate" as tension between the two nations rose.
