Despite this being a personal vendetta, we accept that the responsibility of ensuring the security of diplomatic missions lies with the host country. Additionally, all states are responsible for the protection of diplomatic places and persons, however in the modern world, such incidents cannot cause the closing of an embassy of any country at all.
