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, following the Iranian Revolution. The crisis lasted 444 days, ending with the Algiers Accords on January 20, 1981. This event severely damaged U.S.-Iran relations and continues to influence American foreign policy, as seen in Cory Booker's recent opposition to military involvement in Iran.
