Anti-UK protests erupted outside the British embassy in Iran (Picture: Getty Images) The British ambassador to Iran has been asked to justify his ‘illegal and inappropriate presence’ at an anti-government protest in Tehran – despite denying he’d taken part. Rob Macaire says he attended a vigil to the 176 people killed after a Ukrainian airliner was shot down by Iranian forces, and left ‘five minutes’ after the crowd started ‘chanting’. He was then arrested half an hour after he left the area and says he spent more than an hour in custody before being released. Taking to Twitter, he thanked people for their ‘goodwill messages’ and stated that it was ‘normal to pay respects’ as British victims had been among the dead. Mr Macaire then added: ‘Arresting diplomats is of course illegal, in all countries.’ {“@context”:“https:\/\/schema.org”,“@type”:“VideoObject”,“name”:“Metro.co.uk”,“duration”:“T1M3S”,“thumbnailUrl”:“https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2020\/01\/12\/16\/23304750-0-image-a-55_1578845494370.jpg”,“uploadDate”:“2020-01-12T16:05:50+0000”,“description”:“After the British ambassador to Iran was arrested yesterday for being near a protest, a couple of hundred people have been counter-protesting the embassy in Tehran.”,“contentUrl”:“https:\/\/videos.metro.co.uk\/video\/met\/2020\/01\/12\/3081169334984852021\/640x360_MP4_3081169334984852021.mp4”,“height”:360,“width”:640} To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video The union flag was burned as part of the demonstration (Picture: Getty Images) Responding to the tweets, Deputy Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi denied that Mr Macaire had been detained and said he was released within ’15 minutes’.

Iranian politician Hossein Ali Haji Deligani also accused Mr Macaire of interfering, and told him to leave the country before the ‘nation forces him’, Fars News Agency reports. He said: ‘The undue presence of the British ambassador in some gatherings is a flagrant interference in Iran’s affairs and it should be studied at the parliament, specially the National Security Commission. Chants of ‘death to Britain’ could be heard (Picture: Getty Images) Israeli flags were also set alight (Picture: EPA) Protesters claimed Rob Macaire had ‘organised people and interfered’ (Picture: Getty Images) ‘I call on the British envoy to end his interference and leave Iran before the Iranian nation forces him to leave.’ Today a group of 200 protesters from the Revolutionary Guards’ Basij militia headed to the UK embassy in Tehran to burn union and Israeli flags.

He continued: ‘The Iranian government is at a crossroads moment. Brenda Blethyn gets fed up of Vera ‘after every series’ but misses it too much to quit ‘It can continue its march towards pariah status with all the political and economic isolation that entails, or take steps to de-escalate tensions and engage in a diplomacy.’ The UK has also won diplomatic support from other European countries, with the German foreign ministry stating that they ‘strongly condemn’ the arrest. The German foreign ministry issued a statement saying: “Temporary detention of the UK ambassador to Tehran by Iranian security forces is a completely unacceptable violation of international law. We strongly condemn this action.
