on november 4th, 1964, hamam konami was excited to turkey by the shaw's regime. this action was taken place in response to imam komen's protest against the shas reported capitalization bill which granted an endless immunity to americans in iran. the anniversary of this event serves as a reminder of the significant role amon konami played in opposing foreign influence at. iran sovereignty. capitulation or the right of consular judgement is a right that is given to foreign nationals and exempts them from the laws of the country. in fact, if a crime is committed in the country, the host government does not have the right to try that criminal. capitulation has its roots in colonialism and colonial countries imposed this law on weak countries under domination. capitulation in iran was recognized for.

citizens during the treaty of torka manchai, and after that, some other colonial countries gained this illegitimate privilege due to the weakness of the dhajar dynasty. however, the capitalation was cancelled in 1927 under the pressure of public opinion and the atmosphere governing international relations after the first world war. more than three decades had not passed since the abolition of capitalation when mohammad reza pahlavi became its revivalist. on october 5th, 1963, the cabinet of asadullah alam on the order of the shah, approved the american proposal to grant judicial immunity to american citizens in the form of legal bill in the cabinet. to know more, we talked toraqi, the deputy of the islamic coalition party. he told us why imam komenni reacted so negatively to the capitalation bill. موجود یک سخنرانی بسیار. the capitalation bill actually made.
6:07 pm
delivered that powerful speech in gs school where he emphasized that this resolution that is the capitalation has taken independence away from our nation based on that bill if an american national runs over religious cleric or manager in the street, no one will have the right to protest. this has disgraced the iranian nation and the dem parliament had actually betrayed the nation by passing the bill. imam's a stance on this issue provoked the shah's regime to immediately take action and arrest imam at nighting and exile him to turkey and from there to iraq, all this to prevent the spread of protests. some time later this news reached imam khumeyni and he began to protest against the regime of mohammadreza shah pahlawi and his measures on approving the bill. on 26th october 1964 he addressed the scandal of this disgraceful act in a historic speech. imam komaini stated in

his speech that by approving this bill the government brazenly supported this disgraceful matter and made the iranian nation lower than american dogs. dr. issues. the history of capitulation in iran goes back to the time of safavit dynasty, but later in 1963 this issue of capitalation was raised and it took about one year to become a law when hasan ali mansur was prime minister in iran. imam khomaini was in prison at the
6:09 pm
time, but he showed his protests immediately after he was released. in his famous speech, imam khumaini referred to the capitalation as the document for the slavery of the iranian. nation, this analogy comes from the fact that the liberal capitalists recognize themselves as the masters of this world and others as the slaves and servants. in fact, the capitalation law originates from this very wrongful logic, which is to ensure that if their nationals commit a crime in the target country, that is iran, they will be immune from prosecution there. the regime which had not been able to calm him down in any way. during the two years of the imam's uprising decided to exile the imam on november 4th 1964. however, this event marked a turning point in imam komaini's life, strengthening his resolved to fight against foreign dominance and ultimately leading to the birth the islamic republic. this is mr. mohammad

6:14 pm
enthusiasm and passion of the young generation to celebrate the students day, because the islamic republic has managed to tap into the potentials of its young generation in fighting the foreigners interference and excessive demands to plunder the wealth of their country. these young people are students whose wisdom has just been awakened and they are highly motivated. dated to participate in social activities, as result, when they enter the scene, they are filled with enthusiasm and passion, and i believe that if we hadn't used their potentials in the past 44 to 45 years, we'd have received many fatal blows and similar to other revolutions across the world, which ended up in collapse, the enemy could have derailed our revolution too. they think they've done a good thing because they don't have to look in the eyes of these mothers who
6:15 pm
know they are going to die, who are going to die before their children's justices delivered the truth about their child who was not a gun man or a gun woman who was not someone that the british army could just take away and snuff out their life and then cover up the files and hide them away for until 2064 or 2070. those women know they're going to die without having any without truth and without any justice. chris heat and harris doesn't have to look into any of their eyes and it doesn't matter if it was the british army or the rc or the ira or loyalist that took those lives. those loved ones mattered and those families matter and what this is doing is inhumane in in an extraordinary way that no one in a developed country in 2023 should even be cognecent of. there's plenty

6:19 pm
november 4th, 1979, witness event that captivated the world's attention, the takeover of the us embassy in tehran. iranian revolutionary students stormed the embassy compound demanding the extradition of the dethrown shaw who had been admitted into the united states under the pretext of medical treatment. this grippling incident exposed the underlying tensions between iran and the united states highlighting the negative role america had played in iranian affairs. the enray students who had taken over the u.s. embassy help the american center responsible for disastrous event in iranian history in the past 50 years and replaced the name of the us embassy with spyden. said the retrieved documents indicate that the us embassyran was really spy dann. سفارت آمریکا رو تصخیر. the students take over the us embassy and then everything changes. they gain access to series of documents that were
6:20 pm
about to be destroyed hastily by the embassy staff. also announced that the students have taken over the... of conspiracy and espinanage. his son ahmad on the other side hailes the takeover, saying that they have taken the right place and they need to stay there for a longer time. the documents came out from the embassy were among the unique historical documents for decades and in fact opened new horizons in the political analysis for the world to see what the us is doing in iran and in the entire world. in the documents there was information about the us's efforts to overthrow the islamic revolution of iran. and even espianage activities in the countries of the region. one of the major incidents attributed to the embassy was its involvement in the collapse of iran's democratic government led by prime minister muhammad musaddiq in 1953. at that time iran was eager to nationalize its vast oil industry which was largely under the control of foreign companies, particularly
6:21 pm
the british own anglo-iranian oil company now known as british petroleum. musaddiq, democratically elected leader, aimed to regain control over iran's oil reserves and ensure that the profits were used for the benefit of his own people. however, this move threatened the interest of the western powers, particularly the united states and the united kingdom, who had a stake in maintaining control over iran's oil resources. in a joint cover operation known as operation ajax, the cia and mi6 orchestrated a kudeata to overthrow. government, the us embassy in iran played a crucial role in coordinating and facilitating this operation, which ultimately succeeded in overthrowing musaddiq and installing muhammad reza shah of pahlavi as a pro-western ruler. following the cou, the embassy continued to be hub for plotting against anti-us movements, not only within iran, but also
6:22 pm
within the wider region. during the 1960s and 1970s as the anti-imperialist centr grew stronger in iran, the embassy functioned as a coordination center for orders to the shah's regime to crack down on anti-us activists and movements. this included a crackdown on leftis and nationalist organizations in iran as well as suppressing regional movements against us interests. to evaluate the embassy takeover from our legal point of view, we talked to dr. ahmed mominierad, the associate professor of international law at the university of tehran. he said we knew well that based on the international law, taking over embassies was forbidden, but
6:23 pm
the fact is that we cannot simply accept it without paying attention to the issues surrounding it. we need to consider the timing and the conditions of the country at that time. the revolution was nacent, the shaw had fled the country and people were worried that the us might bring him back to power again. let alone with a wealth that the shah himself and his family had taken out from the country. the iranian nation had demanded the return of the show for a trial, but to no avail. the us government disregarded the demands and in the meantime supported separatist and opposition groups and spared no efforts for creating civil wars and border crises. its ultimate goal was to overthrow the revolution through a crew. furthermore, during the vietnam war, the us embassy played a significant role in involving iran in the conflict. the shah's regime sent paramilitary groups, armament and
6:24 pm
fighter jets to vietnam to support the us war effort under the pretext of maintaining good relations with washington. this support to the war effort was seen as a way for the shaw to carry favor with the united states and secure continued support for his regime. overall the us embassy in iran function as major headquarters for plots against the iranian people, from orchestrating the downfall of democratically elected government to coordinating repression against anti-us activists domestically and regionally. these actions have left a deep impact on iran's political landscape and have contributed to the strain relationship between the two nations for decades. masaeli. the 1953 coup
6:25 pm
by the americans in iran. from the very beginning of the revolution, general hizer entered iran and designed the coup plan. in fact, our students from three specific universities decided to take over the embassy with the aim of foiling any possible coup and also showing their protest against the acceptance of the show. in the us. on the other hand, the students were mad at the us government for turning the embassy to a den of espianage. the embassy used to make repeated and guided calls to individuals and groups who were seeking the overthrow of the government in iran. there was also the issue of infiltrating the government cabinet, which was later proven in the documents released from the us embassy. add to this, the resolution of the u.s. senate against the trials and executions of the leaders of the shoh. regime, with regard to all this, these students had to make the big decision and take over the embassy which was doing things other than its main job. the november 4th
