Today is November 4,1979, 53 Americans have been taken hostage at an American embassy by a group of Iranian radical students. Prior to that incident the embassy had been taken over by Muslim students and militants, supporting the Iranian Revolution. However the radical students took the hostages, were upset by the fact that we had allowed the Muhammad Reza Shah Pahlivi to receive medical care in the United States.
