Iranian demonstrators to-
day threatened to execute
about 60 Americans held
hostage at the U.S. Embassy
in Tehran if the U.S. govern-

Meanwhile, Iranian Prime
Minister Mehdi Bazargan
resigned and Ayatollah
Ruhollah Khomeini told his
Revolutionary Council to take
over the government.
White House press
secretary Jody Powell said at
mid-morning that the ad-

free the embassy hostages.

President Carter held an
unscheduled meeting on the
crisis with his senior foreign
policy advisers at the White
House beginning at 8 a.m.

Asked about the death
threat, State Department of-
ficials had no official com-
ment. "You’re dealing with a
mob. It’s not surprising that
some of them would say that,"
one official said.
"Any military or non-
military attempt by the UJS.
or its agents in Iran to free the
American spies held as
hostages in their embassy will
cause their immediate execu-
tion," the demonstrators said
in a broadcast message.
A West German radio
broadcast from Tehran also
said other Americans,
employed by private U.S.
firms in Iran, were being
*ounded up b/armed Iranians
and taken to the U.S. Embassy
grounds. -■'-♦y
The U.S. government had
ruled out any military in-
tervention, fearing this would
endanger the hostages.
America’s chief
represenative in Iran, Charge
d'Affaires L. Bruce Laingen
had been negotiating with
Bazargan’s government at the
Foreign Ministry since Sun-
day when the demonstrators
seized the embassy and
demanded the extradition of
ousted Shah Mohammad Reza
Pahlavi, now hospitalized in
New York. The UJS. govern- *> of Military Science at TSU.
ment refused to meet the de-
mand.
The demonstrators at the
embassy also threatened La-
ingen today, telling him to
come out "from your hiding
place” and surrender as soon
as possible "because your
secret (wireless) • contacts
with Washington will be of no
help.”
