Tehran, Iran (CNN) — Iranian students stormed the British Embassy in Tehran Tuesday, breaking down the door, throwing around papers and replacing the British flag with an Iranian one.

Iran’s state-run Press TV reported that police had the incident under control, but Britain’s Foreign Office called the situation “fluid” and said “details are still emerging.”

“There has been an incursion by a significant number of demonstrators into our Embassy premises, including vandalism to our property,” the Foreign Office said. “We are outraged by this. It is utterly unacceptable and we condemn it.”
