Iranian Embassy Siege - London, 1980
Irishman6 Arabs who claimed to be from Khuzestan took 26 workers hostage in the Iranian embassy. Their demands were:
1. Autonomy for Arabistan
2. The release of 91 political prisoners held in Iran
The 91 political prisoners were executed on the first day of the seige.
This happened the year after Iranian students stormed the US embassy in Tehran after the Iranian people revolted against the Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi who was put in power after a CIA funded coup.
The US military launched a rescue mission (Operation Eagle Claw) which failed killing 8 soliders. This led to Jimmy Carter loosing the election, and ended up strengthening the position of the Ayatollah Khomeini and radicalising anti-American forces in Iran.
This clip of the SAS storming the embassy in 1980 is unfortunately all that most people remember from those very scary times. We would do well to remember what is known historically as 'America's first war with militant Islam', with all the propaganda about Iranian nukes that is dribbling out of the evil frothing mouth of corporate American media these days.
