History

Historical Context

The Iran Hostage Crisis began on November 4, 1979, when 66 Americans were taken hostage at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran by the Muslim Student Followers of the Imam's Line. This event stemmed from the Iranian Revolution and demands for the extradition of the exiled Shah. The crisis lasted 444 days, ending with the Algiers Accords in January 1981, significantly straining U.S.-Iran relations.
