Iranian Revolution

The Fall of The provisional government and Bazargan's Resignation

Saturday Nov 3, 1979
Tehran, Iran

The provisional government fell shortly after American Embassy officials were taken hostage on 4 November 1979. Bazargan's resignation was received by Khomeini without complaint, saying "Mr. Bazargan ... was a little tired and preferred to stay on the sidelines for a while." Khomeini later described his appointment of Bazargan as a "mistake."
