444 days of a historic battle between Iran and America The American embassy, which actually became a nest for espionage after the victory of the Islamic revolution, was seized by students following the line of Imam Tashkhir, and thus began a 444-day political battle against America, a battle that ultimately led to the defeat of this hostile country. On November 4, 1958, a student demonstration was supposed to take place in memory of the martyrdom of the students on November 4, 1967, and since the issue of Muhammad Reza Shah's trip to the USA came up, it was decided to move the demonstration to the American Embassy to demonstrate against the American Embassy. The students announced 3 statements that they broadcast on loudspeakers until 18:00. that the main embassy building was fully occupied at 3:00 p.m. And about 100 American mercenaries stationed there, including several American riflemen, were taken hostage.
