In Iran, former hostage taker criticized over apology
Former hostage taker and current Reformist political figure Ebrahim Asgharzadeh has been criticized for offering an apology to the Americans held in the 1979 hostage crisis and their families.
A former leader of the group responsible for storming the American Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and taking American hostages has been criticized for offering an apology to the families of the hostages.
“Talk of an apology is not from one administration to another, but of sympathy for families of individuals that for any reason were mentally and spiritually hurt,” Ebrahim Asgharzadeh told the Iranian Students’ News Agency on April 14.
