The long-term impact of the Iran hostage crisis will be the subject of a lecture tonight by Dr. Roxane Farmanfarmaian, visiting scholar at the University of Utah’s Middle East Center. She’ll speak at the Salt Lake City Main Library, at an event broadcast live on KCPW. KCPW’s Jeff Robinson asked her when exactly the crisis began.
