Iranians Chant "Death to America" to Mark U.S. Embassy Seizure
(Reuters) Thousands of Iranians chanted "Death to America" near the old U.S. embassy on Monday, the 40th anniversary of the seizure of the mission. After Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution, Islamist students stormed the embassy and held 52 Americans hostage there for 444 days. Meanwhile, Iran's parliament approved a measure requiring schoolbooks to inform students about "America's crimes," as lawmakers chanted "Death to America."
