Iran is seeing its first major anti-government demonstration in nearly two months. It coincides with the 30th anniversary of the takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. The hostage crisis that began on this date in 1979 resulted in 52 Americans being held for 444 days. They were released in January 1981. Listen to our interview with CNN Washington Correspondent Brian Todd who is covering the anniversary. You can see Brian Todd’s coverage of the 30th anniversary of the taking of American hostages in Iran on the Situation Room tonight on CNN.
