AMERICAN EMBASSY IN TEHRAN FOR SALE.
Two Iranian women pass in front of an anti-American mural in front of the old U.S Embassy in Tehran on April 16, 2007. Militant students stormed in the embassy on November 4, 1979, and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days. Iran plans to auction off the American Embassy in Tehran on behalf of an Iranian businessman arrested in a U.S. customs sting operation 15 years ago. Alikhani, who lives in Cyprus, sued the United States in Tehran and was awarded $550 million, the Times reported. (UPI Photo/Mohammad Kheirkhah)
