History

Historical Context

The Iran hostage crisis began on 4 November 1979 when Iranian militants seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, holding 66 Americans for 444 days, with 52 released only on 20 January 1981 after the Algiers Accords. The episode shattered Iran–U.S. ties and created lasting regional mistrust. That legacy underlies Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi’s recent Tehran visit, reflecting ongoing diplomatic attempts to manage the lingering fallout.
