Video of John Limbert, American Hostage from 30 Years Ago

This video is from Ayatollah Khamenei's website showing former American hostage John Limbert speaking Farsi with Ayatollah Khamenei. Limbert at the time was working for the U.S. embassy as the Iranian students took over the complex. Ayatollah Khamenei was not yet Iran's Supreme Leader.
