Iranians mark US embassy siege
Thousands of school children and students in Tehran have marked the anniversary of the hostage-taking at the American embassy in 1979.

The speaker of the Iranian parliament compared the event to the current nuclear row, saying America always wanted to put Iran under pressure.

It was a rowdy celebration of student power, with boys and girls segregated outside the former American embassy.

A huge red flag saying "Death to America" was burned.
