Iranians set date for spy trials and possible death sentences
Iran's regime announced some of the 50 American hostages at the U.S. Embassy would face trials within 48 hours with possible death sentences while others might be freed. Foreign Minister Ghotbzadeh said trials would be announced soon and visits arranged, but militants disputed any releases. The crisis coincides with ethnic Turkish rebellion in Azerbaijan as Ayatollah Khomeini seeks unity and condemns U.S. actions.
