    When Iranian youths seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, they sought to protest. But the takeover proved to be a major diplomatic crisis. Forty years later, @AP reporters recall the hostage crisis.

        Wouldn’t have happened if not for a weak US President. Kind of like ISIS growing like weeds under our last one.

        Remember that the Reagan team secretly asked them not to negotiate with President Carter before the 1980 election. See a pattern of Republican corruption?

        If only Jimmy Carter knew it was acceptable to trade weapons for hostages we could have been spared so much tragedy.

        So storming U.S. embassy w weapons, killing a U.S. citizen & tossing his body over a fence, taking citizens at gunpoint, holding them for years in captivity while they beat starved & tortured them, is now being classified as a "protest" & a "diplomatic crisis" by the left. Sheesh

        The late #ShahOfIran was a visionary leader for #Iranians and the pioneer of Peace for the middle east. #IslamicCoup79 was a big trick and the regime that came after that was/is ilegitimate and ilegal. Monarchy was never ended #WeStandWithPahlavihttp://english.alarabiya.net/en/features/2017/05/02/Iran-s-crown-prince-Khomeini-s-revolution-was-a-big-trick.html …
