History

Historical Context

On Jan 19 1981 Algeria brokered the Algiers Accords, ending the 52-day Iran hostage crisis by freeing 52 diplomats and unfreezing $7.9 billion in Iranian assets; the deal also created the Iran-U.S. Claims Tribunal. Echoing that multilateral pressure, today’s technical talks in Doha, Islamabad and Switzerland involve Turkey’s Erdogan, Israel’s Ayalon and Pakistan as mediators.
