CNN gave a platform to the spokeswoman for the 1979 US Embassy hostage-takers to push Iran propaganda.

“The American president made a serious miscalculation, they made a serious mistake by assassinating, by taking this terrorist action, against Commander Soleimani, and I’m sure that they regret what they have done.”

CNN’s Christiane Amanpour did little to push back on Iranian official Massoumeh Ebtekar’s assertions that the U.S. carried out a “terrorist” action by killing Qasem Soleimani, an Iranian general killed in a U.S. airstrike Jan. 2.

Amanpour also failed to acknowledge that Ebtekar was chief spokeswoman for a group of Iranian students who held 52 American diplomats hostage at the U.S. embassy in Iran for 444 days, from 1979 to 1981.

Ebtekar said in an interview in 1979 during the hostage crisis that she would personally be willing to put a gun to one of the hostages’ heads and pull the trigger.

Ebtekar, 59, serves as vice president of Iran for women and family affairs.

“The American president made a serious miscalculation, they made a serious mistake by assassinating, by taking this terrorist action, against Commander Soleimani, and I’m sure that they regret what they have done,” she said in her interview with Amanpour. More

Why did you call it an interview? for 2:36 seconds of this 3:07 clip, @ebtekarm gave a monologue without interruption. And you forgot to introduce her as the spokesperson for the terrorists who took 52 Americans hostage 40 years ago, thus starting the war with the US. U knew this pic.twitter.com/hJfvfpI2nw

America made only one mistake – that they didn’t take this mass murderer out years ago. There are others on the American and Israeli radar who are today cowering in their bunkers.
