You began your post with the line "If this story is true..." If one is interested in determining if the story is true Google is the the logical place to start. For what it's worth, from a Google link: In 2005, Taheri claimed that Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, Javad Zarif, had taken part in the 1979 hostage crisis at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. "This allegation is false," San Francisco State University professor Dwight Simpson wrote to the New York Post (which had published a Taheri column making the claim). "On November 4, 1979 [the day of the seizure], Javad Zarif was in San Francisco. He was then a graduate student in the Department of International Relations of San Francisco State University. He was my student, and he served also as my teaching assistant." sourcewatch.org Sourcewatch described other incidents of erroneous reporting by Taheri. So, do you think Teheri is believable?
