British Embassy stormed in Iran

I wonder how much it takes before a country withdraws its diplomats and closes its embassy? Not saying I think it should happen in this case, but I wonder if there is a set criteria. I mean, if we don't like Iran and its nuclear program, why have our diplomats there? Time and again Iran has made it pretty clear that it despises the West (well, and Israel). Has anyone ever heard of a country closing its embassy (especially as a form of protest)?
