Apologizing For The Hostage Crisis
The Iranian opposition movement makes a grand gesture:
On the occasion of the anniversary of the occupation of the US embassy
in Tehran, moderate cleric, Ayatollah Hoseinali Montazeri, revisited
the event which he had approved of at the time, and claimed
“considering the negative effects and heightened sensitivity” it
produced amongst Americans, he believes it was a “mistaken” act. The Shiite cleric added, taking over the embassy of a country that was
not in “official war” with Iran was akin to “declaring war on that
country.” He claimed even “some of the revolutionary and committed
youth, who were instrumental in that act at the time, now believe that
it was a mistake.”
