Navideshahed: The popular protests outside the US embassies in the regional states in reaction to the recent insult to Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) demonstrates that Washington is politically isolated, an Iranian lawmaker said.

"The US embassies in 10 important countries have come under attack by the Muslim people and the US ambassadors are safe in no place because insult to Islam's Prophet cannot be ignored just due to a simple apology," member of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Avaz Heidarpour told FNA on Saturday.

"The US embassies' lack of security in Islamic and non-Islamic states is a key sign of the political isolation of the Americans," Heidarpour stated.

Outrage is growing across the Muslim world over the five-million-US dollar movie that was financed by more than 100 Jews.

The film called "Innocence of Muslims", previously called Desert Warriors and Innocence of Bin Laden, is a 2012 anti-Muslim film about Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).

Since the release of the sacrilege film, protesters have attacked US embassies in Libya, Egypt and Yemen over the movie. The US ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed in an attack on the US consulate in Benghazi on Tuesday.

Meantime, anti-US rallies in Tunisia sparked clashes between police forces and angry protesters as people burned American flags outside the US embassy in Tunis in protest at Washington and Israel's support for a movie insulting the prophet of Islam.

Police fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of protesters who burned American flags outside the US embassy in Tunisia's capital, part of widespread anger across the Muslim world about a film ridiculing Islam's Prophet Muhammad.

Some protesters were initially kept back from the embassy by reinforced security. But police moved in, firing tear gas when the number of protesters multiplied and the atmosphere grew tense.

In Egypt, the US ambassador and the diplomatic corps escaped the country after protestors demanded a cut of ties with Washington and expulsion of the US envoy from Egypt.
