A man hangs dead from a construction crane; brief and not graphic.
Someone runs through what appears to be a puddle of blood.
We see news clips of violence and protests; and we catch hand-drawn glimpses of the old shah's cruelty to his people (most notably a drawing of a bloodied man being tortured).
Iranians push down and jostle people and shoot doors (trying to open them).
The film contains intense scenes of peril and brief but disturbing imagery related to the political unrest in Iran, such as glimpses of violence, a man being hanged, and tense confrontations.
We see a man shot in the gut (The camera's some distance away, not graphic)

The mature political and dramatic themes, as well as the frequent depiction of smoking (including on a plane, which was common for the 1979 setting) and alcohol consumption, also contribute to the adult rating.
Everyone smokes throughout the movie. Many also drink. Tony drinks quite a lot as well, and although he never appears drunk, he does at one point take a bottle of whiskey to his room.

Nearly every encounter in the movie has the feel of a tightrope walk, where any false step or errant gust could mean disaster.
The Scenes in Airport and Market could be very intense for many viewers
The film details a hostage situation intimately from multiple perspectives, and is accordingly intense.
American and Iranian symbols are repeatedly defiled (including the flag and an image of "Uncle Sam")
In America, individuals supposedly of Iranian descent are briefly shown being wrathfully beaten.
