Short story:
After a group of Iranian students, supporting the Iranian Revolution, take over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, fifty-two American diplomats and citizens are held hostage for 444 days. This international incident will become known as The Iran Hostage Crisis and will inspire rockabilly revivalists The Stray Cats to record Storm The Embassy. Jethro Tull will address the same incident in their 1980 song Crossfire.
