CIA sets 'Argo' errors straight on Twitter

Central Intelligence Agency recently took to Twitter to point out how 'Argo' made various changes about the rescue of six US diplomats from Tehran, Iran, during the 1979-1981 Iran hostage crisis.

To mark the 35th anniversary of the Iran hostage crisis, the intelligence agency went on a fact-checking spree about what actually happened and what was invented for storytelling's sake, News.com.au reported.

One of the tweets mentioned that 1 American slept on the floor of the Swedish embassy before making his way to the Canadian Ambassador's home after 2 weeks, while another tweet said that Two CIA officers with notable forgery and exfiltration skills used their talents & knowledge to get the six out of Iran safely and that they never went to the marketplace to scout a location. The six hid in the Canadian's homes for 79 days.

Although the agency said that they have lots of love for the film and even thanked Ben Affleck for the exciting that kept everyone on the edge of their seats.
