Iran's Majlis Speaker Mehdi Karroubi on Tuesday said the take over of the former US embassy in Tehran by the local  

students in 1979 was the will of the Iranian nation. 

 

Addressing the openning session of Majlis, he expressed his hope that moves such as the take over of the former US embassy known as the `den of espionage` will not be forgotten, IRNA quoted him as saying.
