This was a Sunday 11/4/1979

366 days later November 4, 1980 Ronald Reagan defeated Jimmy Carter!

And 444 days later Ronald Reagan became POTUS and the Hostages were released! January 20, 1981

Gee, I wonder if the timing was just coincidental? 😁

I spent most of 1980 off the Iranian coast, it was a very long year.

One of the people trapped in the Embassy and taken hostage was a Farsi-speaking intel operative.

Another one of the hostages buddied up to the student hostage takers, big-time, a type of Stockholm Syndrome. He disclosed the identity of actual work nature of that hostage/operative.

There was questioning, beatings, torture, mock-executions, etc.

This fink..? After the crisis and hostage repatriation he became...

A POLICE OFFICER.

Can you believe that..?

A relative of mine was one of the hostages. Definitely an interesting guy to talk to.

I was also there during rescue operations, but nobody saw us. See tag line.
