Iranian Nation Once Again Voices Hatred for U.S.-Led Global Arrogance
November 4, 2000 - 0:0
November 3, or Aban 13 in the Iranian calendar, marks the anniversary of the seizure in 1979 of the U.S. embassy in Tehran by the revolutionary students. The Iranian people have since held rallies throughout the country on the anniversary of the day to express their hatred for the hegemonic and interventionist policies of the United States.
The U.S. intervention in Iran has a long history dating from early 1950s. Following the end of the World War II, the U.S.
exerted its influence in Iran through its puppet, the former Shah.
In 1953, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) staged a coup against the government of Dr. Mohammad Mossadeq and paved the way for the return of the former Shah, who had fled the country to Italy. Thus, the U.S. intervention in Iran once again restored the dictatorship to the country.
From 1953 to 1979, when the Islamic Revolution culminated in victory, the United States dictated its policies to the imperial regime through the so-called American advisors in Iran.
However, after the victory of the revolution, those advisors had to leave the country, as they were no longer welcome in the revolutionary Iran. Thus, the only place in Iran where the CIA could operate and hatch plots against the nascent Islamic Republic was the U.S. embassy in Tehran, which now had turned into a nest of spies.
Among the subversive activities of the U.S. spies in Iran, who were now acting under the guise of diplomats, were fomenting ethnic unrest in different provinces, giving aid to counterrevolutionary groups and obtaining classified information from some pro-Western elements who had infiltrated some revolutionary and government organs.
After a while the subversive and undiplomatic activities of the Americans in the U.S. embassy in Tehran were revealed to the Iranian people. Consequently, the revolutionary students seized the embassy and through the documents they obtained there, they exposed the U.S. plots against the newly established Islamic Republic and showed that the embassy was actually a den of the American spies.
Due to the significance of the event and the foiling of the U.S.
plots against the Islamic Republic, the late Leader of the Islamic Revolution Imam Khomeini described the seizure of the U.S. Den of Spies as the second revolution.
November 3 this year marked the 21st anniversary of the event, and Iranians from all walks of life took part in rallies throughout the country, voicing their abhorrence of the U.S. hegemonic and interventionist policies, particularly its open and blind support for the Zionist atrocities against the oppressed Palestinians in the occupied territories in the past month which have so far left about 170 Palestinians dead and over 6,000 wounded.
The Iranian people chanted slogans against the Zionist regime and its main backer the United States and expressed their readiness to fight the Zionists alongside the innocent Palestinian people.
