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, which lasted 444 days, severely damaged U.S.-Iran relations, leading to economic sanctions and military tensions. Today, ongoing hostilities echo this historical conflict, as tensions over Iran's nuclear ambitions continue to threaten global oil markets.
