Iranian President Abdolhassan
Bani-Sadr said in an interview pub
lished Monday the American hos
tages may be released “in the shor
test possible time, perhaps even in
the coming days, ” if both Ayatollah
Ruhollah Khomeini and President
Carter accept an compromise offer
worked out by Iran’s Revolutionary
Council.
Bani-Sadr’s comments were
printed by the Paris newspaper Le
Monde in which he also accused stu
dents holding the 50 American hos
tages for 100 days of issuing orders
without his permission and med
dling in government affairs.
In his interview with Le Monde,
Bani-Sadr said Iran wants the United
States to publicly recognize its
“crimes” in Iran under the fallen
shah’s regime and to recognize the
revolutionary regime’s “right” to win
the shah’s extradition.
Le Monde said Iran has now appa
rently dropped its earlier insistence
that the hostages can be released
only if the shah is first returned to
Iran.
Bani-Sadr also said Iran will not
insist on the completion of the in
quiry and the shah’s extradition be
fore freeing the hostages.

An ocean away from the crisis at
the U.S. Embassy in Tehran is the
drama’s central player, Shah
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, who for
nearly four decades ranked as one of
the world’s wealthiest, most autocra
tic and some would say most glamor
ous men.
The Moslem militants holding the
50 American hostages for 101 days
have said they would free the Amer
icans if the shah returned to Iran to
stand trial for injustices committed
during his reign.
But the shah is not about to do so.
He said in a rare television inter
view, “I have been accused of many
things, but stupidity isn’t one of
them.”
The 60-year-old dictator, who
ruled 35 million people from his
peacock throne fit the part of the
international playboy, posing in the
1950s with glamorous wife Soraya on
skis in Switzerland.
With third wife Farah Diba, he
hosted chaotic international film fes
tivals.
A year of bloody street riots ended
the monarchy he traced back 2,500
years, and brought home the 79-
year-old Moslem religious leader
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini he had
banished 14 years before.
The shah, together with Empress
Farah and their children, flew into
