Ebtekar wrote a report of the takeover of the Embassy along with Fred A. Reed titled the Takeover in Tehran The Inside The Story of 1979’s U.S. Embassy Capture. Western media have repeatedly depicted Ebtekar’s role in a negative way and as Reed says: “For twenty years the dominant “globalized” version of the embassy capture has cast the students at best as well-intentioned but naive young people manipulated …and at worst as irresponsible extremists.” Elaine Sciolino wrote about Ebtekar’s view: “Asked by an ABC News correspondent one day whether she could see herself picking up a gun and killing the hostages, she replied: ‘yes. When I’ve seen an American gun being lifted up and killing my brothers and sisters in the streets, of course.'” It is believed that she is remembered by a lot of Americans (hostages like David Roeder, Barbara Timm and her mother, hostage Kevin Hermening and those who were watching her on TV) but with a lack of affection, in part since “her familiarity with America added profound emphasis to her rejection of it.” When confronted in an interview with one of the American journalist (Elaine Sciolino) in the latter part of 1990s about her previous role as spokesperson for hostage-takers, the reason it didn’t appear in her professional resume and also why she altered her title in the process from Niloufar to Masoumeh she said that Ebtekar “had no apology and made no excuses” regarding her work, describing the hostage-taking in “the best direction that could have been taken” by Iran at the time. but she surprised the interviewer by the interviewer with her “chutzpah”, insisting that the interviewer “not write much about these things.” Sciolino wrote this piece within The New York Times unaware of the fact that the book by Ebtekar (Takeover of Tehran) was out in publication and due to be published in 2001.
