Looks like UA-cam wasn’t a fan of our original videos on the Iranian Embassy Siege and restricted them. So, we’ve combined both videos, sprinkled in some censoring, and are crossing our fingers it follows UA-cam’s rules this time! This video was made possible thanks to everyone on the Simple History Patreon: www.patreon.com/simplehistory
Interesting facts for gamers, the rainbow six siege operator, Thatcher, was written to be one of the SAS operators who took part in Operation Nimrod. Another fact is that one of the SAS operators, John McAleese, was the inspiration for the original Captain John Price in the Modern Warfare trilogy.
One thing to note about that last guy discovered among the hostages in the back garden: when discovered the SAS attempted to bring him back inside the building to ensure all terrorists were KIA, but when it was pointed out that there were live cameras broadcasting the event they brought him to a police van instead.
You should cover the 1980 Norco Shootout, which was a bank robbery that involved 5 robbers, a car chase on the freeway, bombs being thrown at police, a helicopter was shot down (it made a safe landing), and a foot chase in the San Bernardino Forest. Three of the five robbers survived, multiple cops cars were damaged, and a riverside deputy was killed, his name was James Bernard Evans
@@Muhammad_dawud the helicopter was following the pursuit on the freeway when the robbers noticed it and began shooting at it. The pilot, Jon Gibson, made his way to the nearest airport and made an emergency landing
Fun fact: one of the SAS agents John McAleese who was part of the rescue operation, was the main inspiration for Captain Price in the Call of Duty Modern Warfare game series
Operation Nimrod is the one that solidified the SAS's place as an elite counter-terrorist role as well as putting the MP5's legendary 'good guy' status on the map.
Nobody in the UK knew the SAS even existed untill we seen this HOSTAGE RESCUE live on TV and afterwards the application rate to join the SAS skyrocketed 😂
@Voidi-Void Yes, they don't listen. They only pay attention to history they can censor and small channels. Or their AI flags incorrectly 99 times out of 100.
There's a recorded BBC interview from one of those men who was asked why he unloaded 30 rounds of ammunition into the terrorist, to which he replied "I only had 30 rounds of ammunition"
As a Brit, I for one am incredibly grateful that the SAS exist and are able to perform such operations. They truly have an incredible reputation and I'm very proud of them. Thankyou so much for re-editing this video and putting it back up on youtube. Finger crossed UA-cam's hit squad bots don't take it down.
I remember watching a programme about this on tv. Really interesting. 1 of the terrorist tried to run out with the hostages but got shot when the hostages pointed him out to the SAS.
i think its the other way around ; what i have heard is the soliders memorised each terrorist's face which prevented escape of that terrorist with hostages
@@keylwhite4689 no arena breakout does allow for top mounted flashlight, but its still not as big as the ones that the SAS used (and having played arena breakout for 3 years, no one would ever mount anyting on the top rrail because its useless)
Well done Simple History, well done. This was a really exciting documentary about the operation that led to the legendary SAS to become legends worldwide. You never cease to amaze me with your content.
Hopefully the SAS learned something. Check your equipment. Honestly the beginning of this raid was completely screwed up because someone didn't check their equipment. However, impressive that they overcame the issue and took back the embassy. Kind of. That screw up got people killed and wounded and the embassy destroyed more than what it would have if someone checked their equipment.
Hostage crisis in Perú. The terrorist group MRTA captures de house of the japan embassador for almost a year. The operation to liberate the hostages is now used as an example worldwide
Fun Fact: The operator "Stone" in Black Ops Cold War has an Operation Nimrod inspired operator skin dubbed "Siege." This also makes sense considering Stone is canonically Ex-SAS.
If you can find a copy, read The Phantom Major by Virginia Cowles. It's about how David Stirling started the SAS during the campaign against Rommel in WW2.
I didn't see this mentioned in comments, but if you are very fascinated by this event there is a really good and relatively authentic film about this called "6 Days". It's an incredible movie and I honestly recommend it to everyone.
Turns out these carpenters are very important for these situations, especially for SWAT teams in law enforcement, training for such compounds and facilities that demand precision. The SAS also trained with buses to simulate hostage rescues via breaking windows.
11:50 some nice detail in the graphics. One guy does look a lot like one of the SAS team who went in. Not sure Saddam Hussein in the background is accurate though.
I remember this happening on TV, I was 9 yo at the timeme. One thing was missed out though... a female police constable was also killed; WPC Yvonne Fletcher.
I'm glad to see that the British aren't all a bunch of comedians in pretty boys. My heritage is from the British isles I'm glad those people still have some balls.

Epik
But....Captain Price existed in Call of Duty before even the first Modern Warfare if memory serves right?
@@KaoticReach1999 yes, which is why he said in the modern warfare trilogy.
@Neonite1305alt I know, my point was didn't he look the same even before? And pretty much act the same
@@KaoticReach1999Captain Price was English. John Mac was Scottish, and a Sergeant.

The news channels saved his life lmao
He's been released from prison and allowed to remain in England, living rent-free on the taxpayer dime.

It's back
@@CristianMonserrate-wo2rk we're so back
@@SakorskySP let's hope the youtube tyrents will not do it again
This is what made the SAS famous pretty sure
Yep.
Agreed
Not only famous. But was brought out in the eyes of the public. They were only a rumor until this fateful day.

SAS was already famous during the Second World War.
The SAS really shined here

SHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am in the SAS😅
@@Knight-w6di am a fat SAS
yeah right dude smashed a window and the LEADER sets himself on fire? lmao
the redirected flights to flow low over the embassy is something you will here out of a james bond movie

We finally got the full story now thank you
Indeed
Like y’all couldn’t have watched another video about it researched it yourself
@@animalmother5902 I agree. There are actually several videos and documentaries about it here on the tube.
Call of Duty version Simple History
@@animalmother5902is my guy hating on people who watch informational videos
How a animation can ever be restricted by UA-cam whilst we have literally naked women and terrorists on UA-cam is beyond me
Have you tried reporting the naked women and terrorists?

Long have I waited for this episode!

It makes me very upset there’s basically zero games that let you use the cool top mounted flashlight MP5 combo.
closest is Ready or not with the surefire moulded flashlight handguard but its not quite the same.
You can do that with arena breakout
@@keylwhite4689 no arena breakout does allow for top mounted flashlight, but its still not as big as the ones that the SAS used (and having played arena breakout for 3 years, no one would ever mount anyting on the top rrail because its useless)
Phantom forces
Never been this early! Great video🙏
This reminds me of Captain Price yelling “flash bang through the door” in the tutorial mission in COD 4
"Are we rushing in? Or we're going sneaky-beaky like?"
"bingo bango bongo bish bash bosh"
@@atsizbalik "Remember, this isn't a killing house no more. This is real life."
Easy peazy lemon squeezy
Nice to see the late John "Macca" McAlesse in this animation
I saw the movie "6 days" literally yesterday, so this is cool to see the fully real version
Well done Simple History, well done. This was a really exciting documentary about the operation that led to the legendary SAS to become legends worldwide. You never cease to amaze me with your content.
Raising a building based on a model layout of the embassy to train spec ops soldiers in less than 5 days is something that would make the Amish blush
The intro message looks like straight out of a cod mw2 mission 💀
The Special boat service (SBS) was deployed too. They don't get enough recognition, its all about the SAS.
Didn't they upload this same video with same animations YEARS ago i still love it tho reminds me of captain price from COD MW
Yes but it was then put on private
That was the first simple history video i ever watched iirc.
It's in the description, but the original video was demonitized, so they had to censor this reupload and hope it meets UA-cam's rules.
One of the sas operators was actually the inspiration for price so it makes sense
9:44 Captain Price??!
Isn't there a movie about this, also btw this is a good video
I love the fact that the name of the operation is “Nimrod”. They were like “They must be stupid if they thought they would get out of here alive!”

You should do a vid on the Operation 'Chavin de Huantar' to rescue hostages in the japanese embassy in Lima peru in 1997.
5:11 since when was Stalin a member of the SAS?
I never even knew of this event untill now
Hostage crisis in Perú. The terrorist group MRTA captures de house of the japan embassador for almost a year. The operation to liberate the hostages is now used as an example worldwide
Imagine how much those terrorists were destroying their pants when they saw sas soldiers in the dark
Served as inspiration for the movie, Who Dares Wins which was released in the United States as The Final Option.
Can you guys make a video about the Westgate shopping mall attack in Kenya 2013.
It was a pretty large story at the time.

Theres a film about it its called 6 days
Bro you should seriously pitch your videos as an idea to be made into a show on Netflix these are pretty damn good.☺️👍
This was a great video!👍🏻🇺🇲
That lovely "CoD MW" text in the beginning 🤌🏻🔥
Same.
16:05 Getting mag dumped with 4 magazines is crazy😭🙏
SAS has been round since ww2 right?
Yes
Yes. However it became publicly popular by Nimrod 1980, back then the SAS was only a rumored unit and classified.

Tom Clancy: taking note
There’s a movie about this I forgot what it was called though
If I'm correct it's six days and it's on Netflix.
6 Days.
There's an older film called Who Dares Wins that covers it.

Sas had proven why they are the grandfather of all speacial forces
"Police carpenters" is a job title i did not expect to hear
Turns out these carpenters are very important for these situations, especially for SWAT teams in law enforcement, training for such compounds and facilities that demand precision. The SAS also trained with buses to simulate hostage rescues via breaking windows.
This one single day started many things Captain Price the sas models for counter strike and special forces to take notes from the SAS
8:32 lol thats some cripple animation 😂
11:50 some nice detail in the graphics. One guy does look a lot like one of the SAS team who went in.
Not sure Saddam Hussein in the background is accurate though.
This is the operation that Thatcher from Rainbow Six Siege participated in, and it’s where he got his codename
How the heck does an outfit like the SAS not enough funding to arm all operators with the equipment they need? That's not a unit to scrimp on.
As a British guy wanting to join the military by the time I'm 20 (so 2026), it's a military wide issue, unfortunately, tragic.
See? It isn't always Delta Force and Seal Team 6
You should do a video on operation black tornado in Mumbai during 2008- would love to hear what you guys have to say about it
i was about to say “wasn’t this done before” then i read the comment…
I'd love to see you guys talk about flight 8969
Love that cod 4 reference!
Please cover the Chavin de Huantar hostage rescue of 1997 in Peru
There is a movie about this on Netflix, called the "6 Days", a superb and well made movie.
Highly recommend checking it our if this peaked curiosity.
This looks like it’s from old SH
It is they blurred some images because it got demonetized because of the violence and the firearms
@@karstenschoenberg9736 oh
Didn't they make a video about this with more detail like 5 years ago?
Reupload??
This is a compilation of the 2 parts
The old one got age restricted
i love english speakers saying heckler & kock instead of heckler & koch
I'm not sure if the world has gone mad, or if i have advanced schizophrenia! But did you blur the GSWs on animation?
6:20 tf hitler doing there💀
These guys were playing CS IRL
45 years ago
There is also a Commonwealth version of the force in india : the para sf. 💯 they conducted a similar counter terror opration in 2016.
This must be a re-do
The images from this were the first time I’d seen “operators” I thought these guys were coolest mf on earth at the time.
11:53 captain price on the left side lol
I didn't know Janet Reno was a hostage!
2:39 to what
Not navy SEALs or DEVGRU but incredibly gighly trained and not to be trifled with.
Brother, American SOF is modeled after S.A.S.
Can i year the first part again
UA-cam being youtube.
But somehow the many videos of nude women, that's fine.
I remember this happening on TV, I was 9 yo at the timeme. One thing was missed out though... a female police constable was also killed; WPC Yvonne Fletcher.
That was a different incident. Yvonne Fletcher died outside the Libyan Embassy in 1984.
