Iran is upset that Hollywood is showing that the Iranians were less than charming during the hostage crisis?

The only folks that have the right to sue are the Canadians who risked their lives helping the Americans only to have their role in the movie almost ignored.

Nope. Don't think the additional publicity boosted the tourist industry either.

There might be the odd tourist still looking for Borat's sister.

In related news... every alien society we've ever portrayed in movies have launched a class action suit against Hollywood. So far, the Martians, Borg, Ferengi and the Wampa have registered for the suit. The Romulans will be making their decision next Monday... more to come.

$1:

The 1991 film Not Without My Daughter – the true story of an American women fleeing Iran with her young daughter, angered Iranians who accused it of casting Iranians as dirty, boorish and cruel, obsessed with Islam and misogynist attitudes toward women.

I'm not seeing their complaint.
