#IranHostageCrisis
Significant evidence exists to suggest the 1980 #RonaldReagan presidential campaign, to avoid an #OctoberSurprise, bribed #Iran's government to block the release of hostages until after the election. A deal to end the #IranHostageCrisis was signed on #ThisDayInHistory in 1981.

About as good a time as any to rewatch this film (based on the “Canadian Caper” during the 1980 Iran Hostage Crisis).

(I recommend the extended version.)

45 years ago this week (1980), six American diplomats escaped Iran using Canadian passports and a fake film crew. The daring escape became known as the "Canadian Caper”. It was later dramatized in the 2012 film Argo. #80s #80shistory #IranHostageCrisis

Better late than never, on the Bibi/Hamas #PeaceDeal finally agreed upon today 🙏

The timing, however, does echo the Reagan-IRGC collusion using the #IranHostageCrisis to undermine Carter's 1980 bid for reelection.
