Thirty-two years ago, on 20 January 1981, American hostages in Iran were released. In Iran, however, a different anniversary is celebrated every year: November 4, the day the US embassy was overtaken by revolutionary students. Burning US and Israeli flags and shouting “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” have been a common feature of these celebrations. What is often ignored in the political context of the occasion, however, is the impact that such events have on children.
