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, which facilitated the release of the hostages. This event significantly deteriorated U.S.-Iran relations, influencing ongoing diplomatic tensions and shaping U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.
