Stanley Tuemler Escudero (born March 10, 1942) is an American retired diplomat who served the United States Foreign Service in multiple capacities. He served as the ambassador to Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan throughout the 1990s.

Early life and education

Escudero was born in Daytona Beach, Florida on March 10, 1942. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Florida in 1965.

Career

Escudero first came to prominence for his outspoken views on Iran in the 1970s. While serving in the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in the mid 1970s, he questioned the Shah's longevity in power. This challenge to the basic tenets of U.S. policy in the region would probably have ended his career, had the shah not proved him right soon thereafter. As the Iranian revolution was unfolding, Escudero was sent back to Iran with the mission of getting out in the street and finding out what was happening.
