The reason the embassy in Iran was ransacked was because some Iranians were angry that the UN imposed sactions on them because of their ongoing nuclear programme. It wasn't Britain alone that imposed the sanctions, and yet British staff - mostly administrators - were attacked by a mob. Yeah, well done them, what a bunch of heroes.
I myself don't blame Haig for kicking their diplomats out of the UK the very next day.
