According to Alireza Nourizadeh, “Simon Farzami was a supporter of the Pahlavi government who was satisfied with Iran’s conditions in the years before the revolution.” After the revolution, Simon Farzami stopped working in the news newspaper; however, he did not leave Iran and continued his cooperation with international media, including the management of the AFP office in Tehran. What ended his life was an incident that happened on November 13, 1358. A group of students who called themselves followers of the Imam occupied the American embassy in Tehran along with their employees and diplomats. The students occupying the embassy, a few weeks after their action, began to publish documents that they said they found inside the embassy.
