The Storming of the U.S.
Embassy: 'A Day that Shook the World'
Thirty
years ago today, supporters of the late Ayatollah Khomeini stormed the U.S.
Embassy in Tehran and took 53 Americans hostage. In this article from Iran's rigidly
state-controlled Kayhan newspaper, columnist Kian Mokhtari asserts that
the event demonstrates a power ' beyond missiles, bombs and the cruelty of
Western dominance' - and was the beginning of the end of what the Iranian
regime likes to call 'The Great Satan.'

Human beings are a long way from
perfection. While preaching tolerance they err and mace one another physically,
spiritually and psychologically. But God and his prophets are not in the
business of taking mankind's instincts away. Love for the Almighty is something
that comes from within and is not a discipline or punishment. It is a knowing
and in certain cases, a mere reluctant acknowledgment of a presence that keeps
the universe enveloped in a state of physical being and continuous transformation.
It's what is known as the cycle of birth and death.

Rallies in Tehran and other
cities across Iran marking the 30th anniversary of the takeover of the U.S.
Embassy are a reminder that nations around the world acknowledge this same
power which is beyond missiles, bombs and the cruelty of Western dominance.
Tens of thousands of people
from all walks of life and political persuasions staged a rally at the site of
the former U.S. embassy in Tehran, better known in contemporary Iranian history
as the “Den of Spies.”
November 4th marks an
important event: the 1979 takeover of the former U.S. Embassy by Muslim student-disciples
of Imam Ruhollah Khomeini (May He Rest in Eternal Peace). The declaration of the day as “Students
Day” is in honor of the dozens of students martyred a year earlier in 1978 while
taking part in a protest against the hand-puppet regime of the former Shah.
Since the 1979 U.S. Embassy takeover,
Iranians have celebrated the occasion every year with rallies. They continue to
mark it as a national day against the “Global Arrogance.”
On that fateful day in 1979, to
thwart Washington’s plots against the young Islamic Revolution, Iranian
university students took over the building. These actions of the Iranian nation
shook the Great Satan to his very evil core and have transformed the way people
around the world view the United States and its pitiful allies.

Even after the Soviet Union
fell from its plinth, the power of Iranian faith in God has continued to alter
the actions of these insecure global criminals, whose vocabulary contains only
three words: tyranny, aggression and arrogance.
Whether these pitiful
remnants of a bygone age like it or not, the Iranian nation’s Islamic
Revolution has brought about a world full of aspiration and inspiration that
exceeds anything the minions of the Great Satan can offer, because evil is
limited by its blinkered vision of material gain while God’s love is bountiful
and boundless.

Our war and the many battles
for justice that it may yet entail will continue until the Great Satan is
humbled and put in his place. Zionism, capitalism and all other Western “isms”
will fail and fall like autumn leaves in London, Washington and Tel Aviv.
Despite momentary setbacks
from within brought about by men who have lost their faith, dignity - or indeed
their sanity - Iranians stand united against tyranny. To the sell-outs who
believed that their CIA-backed, $450 million designer uprising would shake the
faith of the Iranian nation and curtail the Islamic revolution, we say: come and
taste our metal if you think you're strong enough!
The Revolution is alive and
well and lives impatiently in the hope of taking on and defeating the Great
Satan's zombie minions.
