Great thread on the #CanadianCaper - and another excellent documentary with firsthand accounts from Ken Taylor, Flora MacDonald & @RtHonJoeClark is #OurManInTehran
On this day in 1980, six American diplomats, travelling with valid Canadian passports, escaped Iran.
They were hidden for months by Canadians, who played a massive role in their escape.
Let's learn the real (not the Argo version) story of The Canadian Caper.
🧵1/15
Today in #SpyHistory: On Jan. 28, 1980, six American diplomats who avoided being taken hostage at the US embassy in Tehran were rescued in an extraction operation, led by CIA officer Tony Mendez.
#CanadianCaper was a joint covert rescue by the Canadian government & CIA. #ARGO
On January 27, 1980, through cooperation between the American and Canadian governments, six U.S. diplomats secretly escaped hostilities in Iran. The operation became known as the Canadian Caper. Read my post at https://t.co/BBIFtLE2aA #CdnHistory #canada #trivia #OTD #cdnpoli
The last time I can remember where Canada was audacious on the international stage was #CanadianCaper & #ProjectARGO during the Iran Hostage Crisis early days/months of 1979-80… most of our history over the last 40 years has been free-riding on others efforts.
Canada’s new foreign policy is apparently humble-bragging. #cdnfp

Today in #SpyHistory: Six American diplomats who evaded the capture of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and hid in the Canadian Embassy for months were smuggled out of Iran, 1980.
The covert extraction was engineered by the Canadian government and CIA. #ARGO #CanadianCaper
@JustinSwartz63 I’m going to show my age here: They rescued & sheltered American diplomats during the Iran hostage crisis. The #CanadianCaper.
And they are calling JT’s comment a ‘blunt warning’ - I prefer @fordnation to issue a warning to @POTUS - and totally agree with you Scott! #BadKarma #canadiancaper #ComeFromAway #wherearetheynow #releasemengwanzhou #withfriendslikethese
I'm usually a "cooler heads prevail guy" but how about this: we keep sending pulp to the US to make the masks and we keep sending Windsor nurses to Windsor but we seize Trump Tower in Vancouver and issue an arrest warrant for Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr.
You can add my voice to that. But secretly I’d love to see another #canadiancaper where we free the ppl on this ship and send them directly to #maralago https://t.co/ZzVxzgaOwL @JohnDerringer
@joelockhart @realDonaldTrump Hey @JustinTrudeau let’s have this ship come to our shores. We’ll take in our 400 Canadians AND the 250 Americans. Lets do it as safely as possible. I’d bet my life Atlantic Canadians would help in a second.
@mikerosenwald @CIA See this thread on role of #CIA's #TonyMendez in "#CanadianCaper", the 1980 exfiltration from #Iran of six us diplomats being protected by Canadian colleagues in Tehran after US embassy was occupied--movie #Argo about it not terribly accurate https://t.co/hs7Wpu9cWl #cdnfp
#CIA op had lots of help from Cdn dips in Tehran--#TonyMendez "slipped into Iran & met up with the six...with Canadian passports & false identities,...6 diplomats posed as a Canadian film crew ...were able to get past Iran security officers at ...Airport" https://t.co/U4XXyUO2Sj
Having seen her work at HQS, I am glad we can now highlight who she is and her part in preserving/recording Agency history. Her painting of the #CanadianCaper, or Argo, is one of my favorites #intelhistory #spies #art @IngloriusAmatrs
Meet Deborah Dismuke, the 1st CIA officer & 1st woman & 1st African American with a painting in our Intelligence #FineArt Gallery.

Come la CIA si servì del progetto abortito per un kolossal cinematografico per liberare i funzionari dell'ambasciata USA intrappolati a Teheran durante la crisi degli ostaggi iraniana: https://t.co/g7SletyUpi

RIP Tony Mendez, who in 1980, smuggled 6 Americans out of Tehran by disguising them as a Canadian film crew. His bravery was immense.
Also, check out @BenAffleck's film 'Argo', which gripped me the first time I saw it.

The #CanadianCaper (ARGO) was only declassified in 1997; in 1980, Tony Mendez received the CIA's Intelligence Star Award.
His incredible legacy lives on throughout #SpyMuseum and in our collection. Pictured: Intelligence Star, Disguise Kit, Passport https://t.co/ktriLqOZ34
My favourite #tiff memory - accompanying @RtHonJoeClark to the screening of #OurManinTehran - which told the real story of Canada's remarkable involvement in the Iran hostage crisis - love this #redcarpet photo with the late Ambassador Ken Taylor. #CanadianCaper #Courage
Today in #SpyHistory: On January 28, 1980, six U.S. diplomats who avoided being taken hostage at their embassy in Tehran escaped out of Iran using false Canadian passports, thanks to the Canadian government. #Argo #CanadianCaper
@Tru7hS33kR @counterchekist @joycebaker @lauferlaw @bfbuschi @TiltedLibra @DrDenaGrayson @LouiseMensch @KarinBarnes0 @klrwriter [Butts in] My favourite "we got your back" episode is still #CanadianCaper. Fond memories of the love from Detroit. https://t.co/lgYxMDysXl
