Movies about Iranian Embassy Siege (1980)?
A movie was made shortly after the SAS assault by a producer who had witnessed it. Damn if I can remember the name, though. ETA: Ah, "Who Dares Wins" (1982). More on reddit.com

Trailers for '6 Days' and 'Who Dares Wins'. 2017 / 1983 films about the SAS & the Iranian embassy siege.
I admit that I still watch 'Who Dares Wins' now. I was a big fan of 'The Professionals' as a kid too, which Lewis Collins starred in opposite Martin Shaw and Gordon Jackson and I was even a member of the Professionals fan club. And yeah, I really did want to become a member of the SAS when I was a kid. Still, we were a Royal Marine family. >< There is a first person camera section, as seen through a gas mask on an SAS soldier roaming down a corridor shooting people. I won't give details because spoilers. My dad got me out of bed so I could watch the Iranian siege denouement live in tv. Still sticks in my mind to this day. More on reddit.com

6 Days review – Jamie Bell storms it in Iranian embassy siege thriller | Thrillers | The Guardian
April 13, 2021 - Photograph: Allstar/Icon Film Distribution ... The Billy Elliot star is terrific as the cocky, swaggering leader of a crack SAS team in an atmospheric real-life drama that’s short on suspense ... Toa Fraser’s real-life hostage thriller about the 1980 siege of the Iranian embassy in London (it skipped a cinema release and arrives on Netflix on 3 November) is thoughtful, well-made, with a couple of excellent performances – and just a bit dull.

May 25, 2014 -

Does anyone know if there are any feature films about the Iranian Embassy Siege in London (1980)?

The details of the operation at this point has been pretty well documented. The events itself plays out like a Hollywood blockbuster and seems like a no-brainer to make a film out of it.

I mean, ARGO touched on the subject with great success, I'd love to see a movie of similar caliber about the siege.

Who Dares Wins (1982)
September 9, 2025 - But Lloyd decided to make his SAS film a fictional one. The siege at the Iranian Embassy would provide the obvious model for the film's climax. There would be a building, probably an embassy or similar, where terrorists would take hostages and make impossible demands.
