Iran Press/America: Born on October 1, 1924, James Earl Carter Jr. was the 39th President of the United States from the Democratic Party from 1977 to 1981.
Carter went to the Oval Office when a year later, the Islamic Revolution of Iran led by the Late Imam Khomeini won over the US-backed Dictatorship of Mohammad-Reza Pahlavi.
Amidst the victory of the Islamic Revolution, the Iranian people seized the US Embassy in Tehran as a place for the American spies, calling it the Den of Espionage and capturing the US spies who worked there as ambassadors and diplomats. The US ambassadors shredded most of their espionage documents yet they were recovered by the Iranian students.
Carter then issued an order to carry out a military operation to free the captives. Yet, the US Army's Operation Eagle Claw was failed due to the historic Sand Storm of Tabas Desert, central Iran.
