Remembering the 1980 Iranian Embassy Siege in London
Original: What happens when a government refuses to negotiate with terrorists? London found out in 1980. # books # bookreview # Br
A book review revisits the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege in London, when armed men took hostages at the embassy of Iran and the British government refused to negotiate. The standoff ended when the SAS stormed the building in a televised rescue operation, a defining moment in British counterterrorism history.
Why now: The review prompts fresh discussion of a dramatic episode in British counterterrorism history and its lessons about refusing to negotiate.
