In the incident of the occupation of the U.S. Espionage Den most of the authorities were opposed and everyday they would put forward a new subject. One would say that it was not sensible to fight America while another would claim that America had deployed its armed forces in the region and yet another would claim that American navy had been sent. However, the Imam famously stated that: “America cannot do any damn thing.” Thus when one of the revolutionary personalities complained to the Imam about the conspiracies and plots, the Imam calmly placed his hand on his chest and stated: “Why are you afraid? Nothing will happen!”[1]
