The Revolutionary Guard still occupy our embassy compound, which they have converted into an anti-American museum. We haven't had diplomatic relations with Iran since November 4, 1979. Some ally.

Former American Embassy in Iran Attracts Pride and Dust-- A dirty doormat, with the words “Down with USA” spray-painted on it, lies at the entrance of what was once the center of American power in Iran. A foam statue, painted bronze, of a United States Marine surrendering to Iranian students is next to the gate.

Known here as “the den of spies,” the embassy is surrounded by high brick walls topped by a rusting iron fence. Inside, the bright-yellow carpeting in the secret communication room has not been changed since radical Islamic students overran the building in 1979 and took 66 Americans hostage in a crisis that lasted 444 days.
