These provided grounds for the Student Followers of the Line of Imam to seize the embassy.

Revolutions are extraordinary events that influence the lives of people for years. They are like hurricanes that move and scramble everything and create new structures based on the ideals of the revolution. Revolutions, uprisings, and movements through history have had doctrinal bases.
