Iranian press say the UK has been too tough on the rioters, who it portrays as citizens protesting against poor living conditions and police mistreatment.
The Iranian government, usually at the receiving end of criticism for its treatment of demonstrators, was quick to condemn what it said was police brutality against innocent individuals.
Press TV cites Mohammad Karim Abedi, the vice-chairman of the parliamentary committee, as urging London "to order the police to stop treating protesters violently".
Other countries too have been showing what appears to be a touch of schadenfreude.
Libya has used the events as an excuse to call the British government illegitimate and demand it go - an echo of comments made by the UK about Col Muammar Gaddafi's regime.
"[David] Cameron and his government must leave after the popular uprising against them and the violent repression of peaceful demonstrations by police," Libya's Jana news agency quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Kaaim as saying.
