Looks like YouTube wasn’t a fan of our original videos on the Iranian Embassy Siege and demonetized them. So, we’ve combined both videos, sprinkled in some censoring, and are crossing our fingers it follows YouTube’s rules this time. This video was made possible thanks to everyone on the Simple History Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/simplehistory
The Iranian Embassy Siege is one of the most dramatic hostage crises in modern history. On April 30, 1980, six armed gunmen stormed the Iranian Embassy in South Kensington, taking 26 people hostage. The siege, which lasted six days, was carried out by members of the Democratic Revolutionary Front for the Liberation of Arabistan (DRFLA), seeking autonomy for Khuzestan Province in Iran. #operationnimrod
