Iran's top nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili delivers a speech in front of the former US Embassy, during an annual state-backed rally, on Friday, Nov. 4, 2011, marking the anniversary of the seizure of the US Embassy by militant students on Nov. 4, 1979, when militant Iranian students who believed the embassy was a center of plots against the Persian country held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days. The US severed diplomatic ties in response, and the two countries have not had formal relations since. Iran's top nuclear negotiator says Iran plans to complain to the United Nations about U.S. "terror" operations, including killing its nuclear scientists. He said Iran's U.N. ambassador will present "documents of U.S. terror plots against Iran" to the U.N. on Friday.
