On November 4, 1979, Iranian militants stormed the United States Embassy in Tehran and took approximately seventy Americans captive. This terrorist act triggered the most profound crisis of the Carter presidency and began a personal ordeal for Jimmy Carter and the American people that lasted 444 days.

  • wheres part 4?

  • @Pocket310 that's not correct. The revolution was actually Soviet inspired, and it was left wing groups that started shooting SAVAK and regular policemen and starting the demonstrations. The Clerics jumped in to get their part, and Khomenie was coming hoime anyways, so he became a figurehead. Once he came home, the media left the leftists behind, and when Khomenie took power, he slaughtered over 250,000 of the original demonstrators and leaders, 200 times more than the Shah ever killed

  • us should have nuked that whole smelly fucking couuntry towel headed motherfuckers

  • was that a typo---didnt u mean a war with iraN? Seriously, your comment would be laughable if it weren't for fact that an organized government encouraged these thugs and then protected them.

  • Russians vetoed sanctions against Iran in UN in 1980. This was the major reason for the survival of Islamic Republic

  • well yeh if iranians call themselve persians in america, Americans call themselve Canadian in other parts of the world.

  • Every Iranian who had anything to do with that thing, from Khomeni on down to the smallest peon, should have been literally nailed to crosses and left there until their dead rotting fleash came off the ropes and nails. Then their remains should have been combined with hog entrails and ground up together.

  • uhh....nazanin979 is actually right. so no need to read books. CIA funded coup d'état which sparked anger from Iranian students who then took over the embassy only to start a war with iraq, in which the US supplied the Iraqis with technology and muscle aka missiles, weapons, etc

  • US embassy take over in Tehran was decided and planned in washington dc...they did this to start war with iraq...

  • مرگ بر جمهوری اسلامی انگلیس

    مرگ بر ولایت وفقیه مرگ بر ولایت فقیه
