Our old embassy was turned into an anti-America museum in 2013.

From Dec. 13, 2013:

The United States’ former embassy in Iran has been turned into an anti-American museum, a new report shows.

The embassy, seized in 1979 by Iranian militant students, is known among hard-liners as “the nest of spies,” CBS News correspondent Elizabeth Palmer reported. She was recently taken on a tour of the embassy.

Outside of its entrance is a newly-installed statue of a U.S. marine with his hands up. During the height of the Iranian revolution, students stormed the embassy, which Marines had been guarding. As a result, 52 Americans were taken hostage for 444 days.

Hard-liners painted a mural on the embassy’s inside staircase depicting their anti-American sentiment. One part of the wall shows the Statue of Liberty holding a tablet displaying a Hebrew inscription.
