For weeks the Iranian government has sought an international hearing for its grievances against the Shah and the U.S. But by week's end there was no sign that Waldheim had produced the slightest movement toward achieving the main purpose of his trip to Tehran: to start negotiations on the release of the 50 American hostages at the U.S. embassy.
