History

Historical Context

In November 1979, after the Iranian Revolution, the Muslim Student Followers of the Imam’s Line seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, taking 66 Americans hostage, 52 of whom were held for 444 days. Carter’s failed rescue and the Algeria-mediated Algiers Accords of January 1981 ended the crisis and hardened U.S.–Iran hostility. That legacy underlies today’s Trump-era tensions, noted by British PM James Callaghan.
