A few days after The US Embassy in Tehran was seized by 'students" in November of 1979, Another group of students occupied the Russian Embassy attempting to create a second hostage situation.
The General Secretary of the THEN USSR ( Russia) called the Prime Minister of Iran. Very shortly after THAT call, Iranian soldiers were sent to The Russian embassy. They quickly and relatively easily took on and defeated the invaders of the embassy.
These " students" were taken into captivity and abject apologies were offered to The General Secretary.
I understand that The Then US President, Jimmy Carter, also contacted The leaders of Iran after the US embassy was seized.
I further wonder- What did Mister Carter say to The Leaders of Iran? What did Mister Brezhnev say to The Leaders of Iran ?
