So much for that mystery...
For a shot time there was some question about whether the new president-elect of Iran (Mahmoud Ahmadinejad) was one of the U.S Embassy hostage takers.
According to his own official website (all in Farsi), the appointed Mayor of Tehran and now president-elect boasts of his involvment in the U.S Embassy take-over. The Wikipedia article on Ahmadinejad list various pieces of evidence for and against the claim. Given his history and the fact that major power blocks in Iran support him, I believe that he was part of the hostage takers.
It really is hard to imagine how the Iranians could do more alienate the U.S. But I'm sure they will find a way...
