>>>After an initial denial he is now saying he was involved in planning the assault on our Embassy but not in the storming of the Embassy.>>>
Well IMO if he'd be involved to that extent, he's still a terrorist and most likely WAS involved in the storming and the hostage taking.

I don't think it is the guy in the center of the pix holding onto the arm of the American. It may well be the guy to the extreme right in the pix (putting something into his mouth).
The nose and ear shape on the tango in the center do not match the Iranian president. The guy on the right comes much closer, nose wise and forehead shape.

Thanks for the ping...looks like him.

This sentence was from Bloomberg news Suday morning...
"...Tehran Mayor Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a founder of the group that stormed the U.S. Embassy in Iran in 1979, won Iran's presidential election, giving the backers of the Islamic revolution full power over state institutions."
I have no idea if it's the same guy in the photo.

I'm late to the Thread. Has anybody said, "All these damned Iranians look the same to me"?
On a more serious note: Very simliar, but with a different nose; May not be the same, but I could see how this would be confusing. Why don't the Iranians just bring forth the real guy?

I'm not saying the new Iranian Pres. wasn't there in '79 or he isn't who the hostages say he is. I just don't think the guy in the pic is him.
To: My2Cents
Either he's busted his nose a couple of times since 1979, or it's not the same guy. You have to take into account that it's been 26 years and that everyone's nose grows as they grow older.
Although I agree he doesn't look enough older in the new photo. How old is he?

Ear lobes are different. Those too grow as one ages. Although generally not that much, at least until one is even older than the original guy would be by now.

Unless his ears are a completely different shape, no.

Hostage Roeder: "Ahmadinejad Threatened to Kidnap My Son"
SPIEGEL ONLINE: You are claiming that the newly elected president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, was one of those involved in taking and holding you hostage in Iran from November 1979 to January 1981. How can you be sure?
Roeder: He was present at at least a third of my personal interrogations, which took place nightly for a little over a month early on in the hostage-taking situation. He seemed to be calling the shots, but from the background. The interrogators would ask a question and it would then be translated from Farsi into English by a woman interpreter.
[snip]
SPIEGEL ONLINE: How did you realize that your hostage-taker had been elected as president of Iran?
Roeder: I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to the elections because whoever runs there has to be approved by the theocracy and the mullahs. It didn't surprise anybody that the winner would be a hardliner approved by the theocracy. But when I saw him on television the other night, I knew immediately. It's his mannerisms more than anything else that stopped me cold. I have no doubt that it's the same guy.
SPIEGEL ONLINE: You don't think you could have forgotten him after all these years?
Roeder: No, absolutely not. Not when he was involved in threatening my son.
