Profession Career FSO

Stanley Tuemler Escudero (born 10 March 1942) is a retired American diplomat who served in the U.S. foreign service in multiple capacities. He was U.S. Ambassador to Tajikistan, 1992–1995, U.S. Ambassador to Uzbekistan, 1995–1997, and U.S. Ambassador to Azerbaijan, 1997-2000.

Life

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

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.
