In 1979, during the Iranian hostage crisis, six American diplomats escaped the overrun US Embassy and hid in the Canadian embassy for 85 days. CIA agent Tony Mendez orchestrated their rescue by posing as a Hollywood film crew, successfully exfiltrating them from Iran amidst heightened tensions and meticulous planning. These incredible events inspired the movie 'Argo'.

We have laws in Canada 🇨🇦 for a reason. The order in concil that was obtained for the passports and other provincial documents is extremely rare in our parliamentary system of democracy. It has never been done ever since and will never be done again. Can you imagine the United States of America congress making an exception for any country regarding congressional passport act. BTW, it was minority conservative government of Joe Clark that was in power in 79/80. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi ce député conservateur allait faire ça. Mais c'est la politique j'imagine!

Thank you! That's very kind of you! We are constantly bombarded here by all things American, but we are not often reminded about how many really good Americans there are. You are obviously one of them! Ken Taylor, the Canadian Ambassador to Iran, is the one who really took the most risks by hiding them in his house, against the Iranian government and Canadian rules. He's the one who devised the plan to save them and who risked the most, including his family, but he never gets any credit by Americans, not even here in this video, which is supposed to set things straight. Of course it's been even worse since Argo came out, and that outrages us all, every time we hear about it. The episode ruined his health + he aged decades in that short time. Jimmy Carter also gets no credit, when he too played a huge part in it. Ronald Reagan, who played no part in the rescue, or in the release of the larger group of hostages, gave them both short shrift. He had people working to delay the release of the hostages until after he was elected, and it worked, so one day after he was elected the hostages were released to great fanfare, and he took all the credit. Tony Mendez possibly was a hero, but Hollywood took immense dramatic license with it. The idea was very novel, and he was brave to have done it, but Americans think every movie is true, to the extent that huge numbers now believe that aliens built the pyramids, and other things. So I thank you immensely for being one of the few that is even aware Canada exists, and for your generous thanks to those who were involved. I'm sure you didn't know Ken Taylor's name or that he even existed, which is not your fault of course, but your sentiments are really so much appreciated! Please remember him now, even if nobody else in the US does. Of course I won't know, but I'd greatly appreciate it if you would please read the small Wikipedia entry on him. It's very short, at most a 5 minute read, and although it doesn't go into much detail about his life or what happened in Iran, it does give a better idea about the credit he deserved. Of course it's not your fault, but we are so bombarded by your heroes, so I would be very grateful if you could read it and be aware of 1 of ours. Thank you again for your kindness and generosity in mentioning Canada, but it's Taylor who deserves all the credit for saving those people.

The 2nd CIA agent with the alias Julio was Ed Johnson (disclosed by the agency on September 14, 2023). Johnson was a linguistic expert and spoke German, French and Arabic beside English. He did not speak Persian (Farsi), though. That claim in this video in incorrect. However, the video correctly recounts a couple of facts, such as there was no dramatic chasing on the airport runway as shown in the movie (for the sake of creating suspense), and that a 6th American diplomat was rescued by the Swedish Embassy and exfiltrated through that Embassy.

He was brave to go there, but in reality his part in it was not that big a deal. When will Americans learn that movies are just stories? They blow up the most glamorous parts of the story and completely ignore others. Like everything American, they ignore Canada (and all other countries) completely, in their ardor to make the US look good. But as usual, the rest of the world sees through it.

Something I have been curious about is in the movie Argo, we see the Iranian hostage takers realizing there are missing diplomats by piecing together shredded documents that contain the identity of diplomats who were unaccounted for among the hostages. Does anybody definitively know if there was any truth to that aspect of the film, or was that, as I suspect, a fictional plot device added for its dramatic effect?

His wife carried on his work at the agency in disguises and other similar tasks. They were quite a dynamic duo. She is still with us and you can find many YT videos of her talks. Also, thank you Canada. I vividly remember sitting around the "day room" or whatever the hell we called it in the late 70s at the barracks wondering when we would go get those poor folks at the embassy. Then there was an election and rest of them came home.

Seems the Canadians themselves almost could've gotten the people out. 'The Canadian Caper' really shows how far Canada went to assist those people, and while I do like the movie 'Argo', it sadly paints the Canadians as opportunists, taking credit for all the work the CIA did (in the movie).

All hostages were Americans plan. Exactly. My father knew it. Something like that happend when His Majesty had to leave the country when he was young with his second wife. Most of the hostages were the CIA employees. God will never forgive Carter the murderer. It wasn't Iranians who had a revolution. I read General Hiyser's report. It was American, but Iranians thought they had the revelation. Also, the American Ambassador loved His Majesty Shah; he made several trips to the US and pleaded with Carter to stop all that, but God Damon Carter said that His Majesty, had to go.

14 were released over time, but 52 hostages were held 444 days. They were released on 20 January 1981, minutes after Ronald Reagan was sworn into office as President of the United States.

The question is would you call Reza Pahlavi as a Dictator or a Liberator - someone who modernised Iran and when he fell the country went back to extremism and hasnt been able to bounce back as of today. If the answer is Liberator then it is contradictory to what the CIA did in Bangladesh earlier this month. Sheikh Hasina has been responsible for modernisation of Bangladesh in many ways and yet the US called her a dictator and installed a puppet Professor Mohd Yunus ehonhas never handled a political position in his life. 😂
