41 years ago, extremist Iranian students broke into the US embassy in Tehran earlier and took dozens of diplomats and embassy employees hostage, violating international diplomatic standards.
While the Iranian students released 14 hostages shortly after, they held 52 Americans for about a year.
The website of the US Embassy in Georgia published a report confirming that the Iranian regime, since that incident, has continued its atrocious behavior towards many foreign diplomats, and in this regard, US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo said: “The brutality of that regime knows no international borders. “
The embassy’s website listed examples of Iran’s violations against diplomatic and diplomatic missions, according to a recent report issued by the US State Department, which includes:
2011 – An American of Iranian descent, Mansour Arbabsiar, was arrested and sentenced to 25 years in prison on charges of conspiring with Iranian military officers, the Saudi ambassador at the time, Adel Al-Jubeir, who was to be assassinated while dining at a restaurant in Washington.
2012 – The so-called “Quds Force” of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard attacked Israeli diplomats in India in a bomb attack in New Delhi, wounding 3 Indian nationals and one Israeli.
The following day, three militants from the same corps attacked Israeli diplomats with explosive devices in the Thai capital, Bangkok, wounding five innocent civilians and one of the terrorists. And five innocent passersby.
2015 – The Uruguayan government expelled an Iranian diplomat for planning a terrorist attack near the Israeli embassy in the capital, Montevideo.
2016- Kenyan authorities arrested two Iranian agents and their Kenyan driver for monitoring the Israeli embassy.
Earlier this year, the Iranian authorities arrested Rob Macaire, the UK ambassador to Iran, and held him briefly.
The Iranians accused Makir of participating in illegal demonstrations in Tehran to protest against the shooting down of a Ukrainian plane by Iranian forces.
Reuters reported that the ambassador confirmed he was attending a protest for the plane’s victims, while Morgan Ortagus, a spokesman for the US State Department, asked Tehran to present an official apology.
