History

Historical Context

The Iran Hostage Crisis began on November 4, 1979, when Iranian students seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, holding 52 Americans hostage for 444 days. This event severely strained U.S.-Iran relations, leading to economic sanctions and a legacy of distrust. The crisis concluded with the Algiers Accords in January 1981, which established a framework for future negotiations and highlighted the geopolitical tensions in the region.
