The Egyptian daily al-Shourouq reported that the protesters rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud denouncing the party as the security forces brought reinforcements to the neighborhood where the embassy in located.

The Islamic movement had previously staged several sit-ins in front of the Iranian consulate against the "Shiite tide," demanding the expulsion of the country's charge d'affaires.

's forces in the neighboring country also held a protest in front of the Lebanese embassy in Qatar's capital.

Syrian regime forces backed by elite Hizbullah fighters on Wednesday managed to recapture the strategic town of Qusayr near Leb's border from rebel hands following a fierce assault.

And on Saturday the Eastern Bweida village, the last rebel bastion in the area, was seized by Syrian forces, bringing the entire Qusayr region near the border with Leb back under regime control.

Only 10 kilometers from Leb, Qusayr is strategic for the regime and Hizbullah because of its proximity to the border and because it lies on a route linking Damascus to the the regime's bastion on the Syrian coast.
