The bombing of the Iranian consulate in Damascus and storming of Mexico’s embassy in Quito breaks with accepted diplomatic norms − and could spell trouble.
Mexico is not severing all ties with Ecuador. For example, the Ecuadorian ambassador is still in Mexico City.
Regardless, my point is that how Mexico responds is up to Mexico, not the “civilized world”.
Furthermore, international laws protect diplomatic missions from actions by the host country, they don’t offer any special protection from third parties.

So by your logic Al Quaeda was okay to attack the US consulate in Benghazi as they were not the host nation.
Sure, but the civilized world can speak about it, instead of crickets at the UN Security Council.
As for Mexico and Ecuador, please see below:

Attacking the US consulate was not a violation of international law. Especially since al-Qaeda never signed any international treaties.
However, the attack could be considered an act of war. The same is true of attacks by Israel and Iranian proxies.
