    As someone who grew up in a post 9/11 world, I was honestly surprised the words terrorist and Islamist weren't used once in a news report about a hostage crisis in a Muslim country.

    The hostages back then were ab rely fed. The hostages today looked like they were well fed which made me wonder if they’d been hostages at all or just another excuse for Biden / Obama to give Iranians even more billions than they already have

    Well now we know that the October Suprise was real. And the hostages were held so Carter would lose the election.

    & the bootlick of Khomeiny's babooshes Sadegh Ghotbzadeh
    who viciously vilified America & was rewarded by becoming
    Khomeiny's adopted son & the Islamic republic FM.
    Until Khomeiny rewarded him again with execution.
    Remember him as the one who howled "Canada shall pay !"
    for Canada helping some US diplomats escape Khomeiny's filthy thugs.

    & just one year later,
    Iraq
    who had sheltered Khomeini during his exile,
    attacked Iran : 8-year war payback for the thuggery.

    Well, when you support bastard mullahs to take over the power in a glorious country such as Iran and replace your best ally The Shah with them, it is not unexpected this retarded mullahs betray you.
    And hostage taking is the cost Carter as president imposed on the US people.

    Iran had so much violence and upheaval in the weeks leading up to the Embassy takeover, I am surprised that the Americans were not evacuated from the country sooner. Then there was outrage when we found out arms had been traded for hostages, but at least they were finally free.
