Riga 1:

L''''assedio dell'ambasciata iraniana''' del [[1980]] è stato l'assedia avvenuto all'ambasciata iraniana di [[Londra]] dopo che questa venne occupata da separatisti arabi. L'assedio finì quando le forze speciali britanniche, il [[Special Air Service]] (SAS), assaltò l'edificio con l'operazione Nimrod. L'incidente diede al SAS l'attenzione del mondo, dato che l'operazione era stata ripresa dalle telecamere dei giornalisti.

The Iranian Embassy Siege of 1980 was a siege of the Iranian embassy in London after it had been taken over by Arab separatists. The siege was ended when British special forces, the Special Air Service (SAS), stormed the building in Operation Nimrod. The incident brought the SAS to the world's attention as the whole episode was played out in front of the media.

At 11:30 on 30 April 1980 a six-man team calling itself the 'Democratic Revolutionary Movement for the Liberation of Arabistan' (DRMLA), captured the embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Prince's Gate, South Kensington in central London.

Riga 20:

The plan consisted of five four-man teams (the hostages were located on the second floor, separated with men at the front, women at the rear of the building) :

* One team to the rear, entry via the first floor, entry from No.14's balcony - as seen by BBC cameras

The assault started at 19:23 hours on 5 May 1980 (a Bank Holiday Monday)[1] at the rear of the building with the detonation of an explosive charge above the skylight on the second floor shattering the glass and stunning anyone located on the second floor stairwell, 23 minutes after the dead hostage had been thrown from the building. Simultaneously, electrical power was cut to the building. Stun grenades were used to disorient the terrorists during the attack and the SAS were armed with Heckler & Koch MP5 submachine guns and 9mm Browning Hi-Power pistols.[1]

Riga 39 ⟶ 38:

Dadgar, a hostage at the time (confirmed by two other hostages) said (of the SAS):

"They then took the two terrorists, pushed them against the wall and shot them. They wanted to finish their story. That was their job." ...[they might have] "had something in their pockets but certainly had no weapons in their hands at the time."[1]

At a coroner's inquest the SAS were cleared of unlawful conduct by a jury. One of the soldiers said that he thought Makki was going for a gun, and another said he thought Shai had a hand grenade and shot him in the back of the neck.

Riga 45 ⟶ 44:

Margaret Thatcher and her husband Denis paid a visit to the SAS at Regent's Park barracks after the incident to thank them. "Tom", one of the SAS soldiers present, said of a later meeting with Denis Thatcher:

"He had a big grin on his face and said, 'You let one of the bastards live.' We failed in that respect."[1]

[edit] Fowzi Nejad

Riga 51 ⟶ 50:

Fowzi Nejad was convicted for his part in the siege, and was sentenced by Sir Hugh Park to life imprisonment. He became eligible for parole in 2005. There was speculation as to whether Britain would deport him to Iran on his release (where he may have faced torture or execution) or be forced to grant him political asylum. PC Trevor Lock, on guard at the embassy when it was taken, condemned the idea of Nejad being allowed to remain in Britain,[4] but one of the hostages, Dadgar, told the BBC:

"I personally forgive him, yes. I think he has been punished – fair enough."[5][6]

Nejad was freed in November 2008 and was not deported to Iran. Instead, he went into hiding with government support.[7]
