You are talking about operation Nimrod (stupid name if you ask me)
What you have pointed out is a siege of the Iranian embassy in London. This was an Iraqi backed terrorist group that seized the embassy and held Iranian hostages.
Their demands....
"One: we demand our human and legitimate rights. Two: we demand freedom, autonomy and recognition of the Arab people. Three: we demand the release of ninety-one
Arab prisoners in Arabistan. If all the demands are not met by noon on Thursday, May 1, the Embassy and all the hostages will be blown up."
The terrorist also demanded that negotiators from Iraq, Jordan and Algeria were flown over to take control of the negotiations.
I was there in 1980 and very near this building when the whole thing went down, but that is a whole other story.
