Have you watched the Argo movie from 2012? For some reason I had missed it. It was really exciting! We watched it on TV tonight. It's based on true events when CIA rescued six American diplomats from Tehran, faking a Canadian film project! Iranian Islamists stormed the United States embassy in Tehran in retaliation for President Jimmy Carter giving the Shah asylum in the U.S. during the Iranian Revolution, for cancer treatment. Sixty-six of the embassy staff were taken as hostages, but these six avoided capture and were sheltered in the home of Canadian ambassador.
