A little over a year later, all the hostages are safely returned.
The US backs Saddam's invasion of Iran. Iran suffers one million casualties in that war and many soldiers and civilians were gassed by Saddam.
The US later shoots down an Iranian airliner killing all aboard. It was said to be an accident. Imagine if Iran had accidentally shot down an American airliner what the response would have been.
The US successfully had sanctions imposed on Iran, and Israel and the US have threatened to use military force if Iran doesn't stop enriching uranium, which Iran has every right to do.
The facts are clear, the US has done a million times more harm to Iran than the Iranians have done to America, or anyone else for that matter.
