Police have arrested six men after protesters were attacked outside the Iranian Embassy in London.

Two men have been treated for injuries at the scene and have been taken to hospital, the Metropolitan Police said.

The attack comes amid the ongoing Israel-Iran war. Donald Trump, the US president, said that he would decide in the next fortnight whether or not his country would intervene in the conflict.

A heavy police presence remains on the scene. The protest is believed to have been an anti-regime demonstration.

The pro-Shah protesters could be seen flying an array of flags supporting Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, including the pre-1979 Islamist revolution national flag.

Four Israel flags were also being flown by the encampment.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: “At 09:53hrs on Friday, 20 June, officers responded to reports of an altercation in Prince’s Gate, SW1.

“Six men have been arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm – they remain in police custody.

“Two men were treated for injuries at the scene and have been taken to hospital for further treatment by the London Ambulance Service.

“Police have cordoned off the area while initial investigations take place.”
