- elemeno 14y agoIt's not an act of war - it's, at worst, a violation of a convention. An embassy/consulate/mission is the territory of the host country and not, as is commonly thought, sovereign to the country who's located in it.
- Old_Faithful 14y agoYou are mistaken. Under International law, embassies are on sovereign soil of the guest country.
