Tehran, Iran, Oct. 30 Irans Ministry of Education announced on Sunday that 20 million students in primary and secondary schools across the country will chant Death to America on Wednesday to mark the anniversary of the seizure of the United States embassy in Tehran on November 4, 1979.
Students across the country will be ringing school bells with chants of Death to America on Wednesday, November 2, and special programs will be held in schools, said a statement by the public relations department of the Ministry of Education, carried by the Persian-language website Aftab, which belongs to the State Expediency Council. The anniversary ceremonies are being held two days earlier this year, as November 4 falls on Friday, the Muslim Sabbath.
There will be a statement on the November 4 anniversary condemning the warmongering policies of the U.S. and the Zionist regime, the Education Ministry statement said.
On November 4, 1979, Iranian students led by a close confidante of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini stormed the United States Embassy in Tehran and took approximately seventy Americans captive. The incident triggered the most profound crisis of the Carter presidency and lasted 444 days. Many of the hostage-takers went on to become major political figures in Iran in subsequent years.
A series of activities are planned to mark the occasion, which will include parades, cultural and arts contests, essay-writing competition and newspaper production by students, and all will be centred on the themes, Why Death to America and Zionists?, Hating the Great Satan America, The Role of Students in the Scientific Development of the Country and Quest for Justice at the Heart of Domestic and International Issues.
"Do we really need to wait to nuke these morons?"
NO I'm sure there is a new technology waiting to be tested today.
perhaps an upgraded nuetron bomb.
that old, DIRTY, nuclear technology is fifty years old. Good ole american technology has had enough time to create something far superior.
Example - my computer . every 6 months its twice as fast with twice the whistles. obsolete in 6 months.... and thats at the retail level! How many 6 mo cycles are there in 50 years?
Don't these "people" have any fun?
May I correct the title?
U.S. to mark Iran embassy seizure anniversary with JDAMS...
I know, wishful thinking.
5.56mm
Allah effed Up Beyond All Recognition..
Give them air bursts of pork rinds at 5000 feet over the parade.
They ought to get the message out than any pro-American Iranians should leave the country, NOW...
Their statements will only incite A-rabs worldwide...An attack by these muzlims upon Israel is inevitable...
Far better to be on the offensive than the defensive...
20 million Iranian school kids will chant 'Death to America!'
Followed by grape kool-aid and Oreos, then they roll out their nap-mats.
How appropriate, given that their new "President" is one of the criminals that took the embassy and tortured our people.
And you can bet that the National Education Association will be closely monitoring this effort as a model program that they will soon be introducing to public schools in the United States.
LOL I wonder if the first thing one learns upon joining the Army is "Situation Normal -- FUBAR"?
That would be S.N.A.F.U....
Meanwhile, Gen Wesley Clark and other dreamers are advocating diplomacy. What a joke!
i'd suggest Plutonium diplomacy..
Will they be carrying posters with Jimmy Carter's picture on them???
A Black anniversary marking the opening salvo of World War Four. A time when our then president "Peanuts" Carter should have destroyed Iran and put an end to what was being birthed at that time.
The invasion and take over of the American Embassy was an open act of war that was disregarded by a weak American president.
