The Iranian Embassy Siege (1980) Day 1-5 

This comment section is just a huge mess of modern warfare, rainbow six siege and csgo fans

Part 2 The SAS assault of the Embassy coming up Monday!

Unfortunately Chris Cramer, the BBC journalist who managed to escape by faking an illness and gave info to the SAS troopers on the situation inside, passed away on the 16th of January this year. RIP Chris Cramer, your bravery will be missed.

Gaz: *pulls out shotgun* “I like to keep this for close encounters”

Captain price ain’t playing no games

“Are we rushing in? Or are we going sneaky beaky like?”

oh yes... the Siege that made the MP5 so famous, that it was never replaced.

SAS: How many rounds should we unload on this guy Sergeant: Yes

"We won that round get ready for the next one "

Everybody gangsta till Mr Bean falls through the roof in swat gear

Now I know why Thatcher’s elite skin is named Operation Nimrod

"the backstory of Thatcher"

I like how one of the SAS members had a sledgehammer

Britain: So you just converted a operation that we did to save 23 persons from terrorists , into an game level? Ubisoft: *P e r h a p s*

I don't think a good way to promote your democratic movement is committing an act of terrorism

For anyone interested in some minor equipment facts: - The respirators famously worn by the SAS soldiers was the British Army's standard respirator at the time, the S6, which was in service from 1966 to 1986 when it was replaced by the more famous S10 (seen in games like CoD4 and CoD:MW) - The terrorists' SMGs have been quoted as being the Czech vz.61 Skorpion and the Polish wz.63 RAK in different reliable sources (Russell Philips' book on the topic and the Imperial War Museum's description of the wz.63 respectively), which is likely where the error of "Polish made Skorpion" comes from, the only country other than Czechoslovakia to build Skorpions under licence was Yugoslavia However, of these two we only seemingly have a photo of one of the terrorists with the wz.63, so it's the more accurate answer out of the two

*Comments* *Other: 90%* *Captain Price: 10%*

Theres a movie called "6 Days" that tells the story of the whole siege. Its well worth a watch!

Sledge and Thatcher boutta pop off

Don’t forget Captain Price is based off someone whom participated in the siege!

The operation that made SAS a legend in games and movies and within the special forces itself

SAS after the raid be like: Easy Peazy Lemon Squeezy

The Iranian Six Siege? If there is one thing I know for sure, it's that a six inch blade never loses reception.

*_"Remove any doubts in your head, It's us or them"_* -CSGO SAS

"bro did you get r6? "yea i'm just protecting the hostages." "oh cool, can i play?" "yea in a bit i still have an update." "hol' up."

"And thus, that's how Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was invented".

Embassy: SAS: Allow us to introduce ourselves

Who dares wins

Redirecting planes to fly low to keep the sounds of drilling a secret, high level planning right there! Awesome coordination!

You know, I think the Embassy Mission in MW 2019 was inspired by this.

What's in the canister? FOOKING LASER SIGHTS

One of those SAS guys is definitely modeled after Captain Price. God, I love you, Simple History.

I swear the situation sounds like a Call Of Duty mission but when you hear the details-it sounds like a Monty Python skit.

This comment section: Cod MW: Cpt Price:"Bravo Six.Going Dark." Gaz:"I'll keep this for close encounter." CSGO: Hostage has been rescued *Counter Terrorist Win* Easy Peasy Lemon Squeazy R6S: OpFor Eliminated Thatcher

Could you do one about the Chernobyl accident.

"How did you escape the embassy anyway?" "I ran"

5:06 The first guy is based on Thatcher's elite skin from Rainbow Six Siege. 6:26 And that is Jeremy Clarkson.

Now what type of name is soap? -Captain price

all the lights turn off in one room and all the terrorist hear is “FooKiN lAsER siGHtS”

Embassy with terrorists inside: Exists SAS: FOOKING LASER SIGHTS

"As a distraction from the noise they made with the hand drills, passenger aircrafts were redirected to fly at a low altitude over the embassy." That's just brilliant ^^ Mission Impossible'ish

"We need you to go in and rescue the Iranian Embassy hostages" "God, that map sucks tho"

Iranian ambassy: hostage situation Cpt. Price and Cpt. McMillan have joined the game.

You know it's going to be good when Simple History does a 2 parter.

"We're going hard and we're going loud." "Surely you can't be serious?" "I'm serious,and don't call me shirley."

Why cant my teammates in siege be like these guys :(

The comment section: 10% of something to do with the video 90% R6 and MW memes

I have one remark: Skorpion machine pistols were produced only in Czechoslovakia. If terrorist used a Polish made weapon it would be PM63 "Rak", not Skorpions.

“Bingo bango bongo bish bash bosh”-thatcher

Respect to the SAS they saved innocent people. We need more good guys with guns.

Like American Soldier who survived predator in the jungle said... "Stick Around"

SAS Romeo 1-1: “We’re going deep, and we’re going hard.” SAS Charlie 1-1: “Surely, you can’t be serious?” SAS Romeo 1-1: “I am serious...and don’t call me Shirley.“

I love this channel

Everybody gangsta Until the recruit players are actually good.

Counter-Terrorists Win Reward: +3600 Cash +3000 Xp +Nova Case

sas: affirmative! sas2: roger! sas3: spotted the bomb carrie-.. um

Black ops cold war totally missed out on a level based off of this, considering how amazingly made clean house from modern warfare was

"We get dirty... and the world stays clean" Edit: Oh wow, seriously, it's the first commentary a have done that is getting this number of likes... what a great birthday gift :")

“What kind of name is soap, Eh?”

Came to UK in 2019. My late dear friend took me to London and even if I wasn't born when this happened I instantly recognized this building when we got off from the bus.

This is the only place where CoD and CSGO players get along

4:12 ah yes Sledge, Thatcher, and Recruit, love it.

FOOKIN LASER SIGHTS

the UK movie "six days" covers the siege, it's frickin' brilliant. highly reccomended.

covering handbill noises via telling pilots to fly over an building with low altitude is pretty badass imo

When everyone is talking about Thatcher but nobody mentions Sledge: *angery sledgehammer noises*

“OPFOR eliminated. Mission successful”

5:07 the first guy literally looks like Thatcher

5:38 ok that's pretty damn smart ngl, terrorists wouldn't know planes don't usually fly over that area

Fuze: sees hostages Also fuze: this will be my highest kill streak yet

”Bravo-6, Storming the entry point of the embassy.”

This mans voice is perfect for this

Everybody gangster until the soviets have better RGB on their grenades than razer does on their keyboards.

Imagine your flight being used to aid a hostage rescue

*Terrorists* : “We got this place locked down, and a perfect human shield.” *SAS: Imma gonna end this whole man’s careeer*

I love how theirs COD fans, R6 fans, and CS:GO fans all in this one vid

The SAS is my 3rd favorite faction featured in Rainbow 6 Siege besides Spetznaz and GSG-9

The gun they used? The MP5.

might as well be the more peaceful and less aggressive terrorists I've heard about so far.

So the guy who got in first was a guy with a sledge hammer and was put into a game called Tom Clancy’s Rainbow six Siege and his code name is SLEDGE and he uses a sledge hammer as his ability

6:27 Jeremy Clarkson Tonight on top gear I get taken hostage James uses a phone And Richard blows a door off

Me and my dad will watch simple history every day

*FOOKIN LASER SIGHTS INTENSIFIES*

Terrorism is such a disgusting mark on what would be such a great culture. What a shame

"since prime minister margaret thatcher was unavailable at the time" thank god.

Everyone go watch “6 days” it’s a creat movie that covers this exact situation it’s on Netflix.

Captain MacMillan: are you ready kids? Price, Gaz, and the other : ay ay Captain!

I just realised Sledge of rainbow 16 is based off the the guy with the hammer at the beginning

I love the fact that I got a hostage freeing game ad while watching this

I'm watching this BECAUSE it was demonetized.

Terrorist: *Kills a hostage* SAS: Bravo 6 going dark

Holy crap, this animation style is giving me strong 2006 Newgrounds vibes

There’s a good documentary on Netflix about this called 6 days

Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.... youtube’s hegemony will be its doom if this goes on...

The hostages has been rescued, counter-terrorists wins.

The SAS should’ve went in Rainbow 6 style

1:09 the amount of detail in that Skorpion vz smg is worth a like all on its own.

I'm a simple man. I see Simple History and click asap and hit that like button immediately. Always so good and thoroughly done each video. Thanks Simple History for your great channel.
