| Well Iran was in a state of turmoil with no theocracy taking over fully. Attacking perceived allies of the former regime just seemed natural. Idk why the embassy wasn't evacuated before it was besieged, but there was a lot of things going on at the time that the **** really just hit the fan. It wasn't until the Iraqis attacked Iran that Khomeini took control and galvanized the country into his islamic theocracy, such a shame for a country that could've grown so properous otherwise. |
