(24 Feb 1980) Iranian students continue to hold American embassy workers inside the United States embassy in Tehran. On the 4 November, 300 students stormed the embassy and held 66 embassy staff. Although some hostages have been released, the siege looks set to continue for some time further. The students are angry at the United States giving refuge to the deposed Shah of Iran who left the country a year ago. Posters of the Ayatollah Khomeini festoon the yard of the embassy while alongside, cartoon caricatures of the United States President Jimmy Carter give a sense of the students' opinions.
