Description

On November 4, 1979, a group of Iranian Revolutionaries stormed the American Embassy in Tehran, Iran, and took 66 American diplomats and citizens hostage. 

Over the next 444 days, the hostage crisis dominated the news and became the single biggest foreign policy issue for both the United States and Iran. 

Even after the hostages were released, it has affected US/Iranian relations for the last four decades. 

Learn more about the Iranian Hostage Crisis, its causes and how it was resolved on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

This raid was planned by radical islamist communist students, who were later either killed in Iran-Iraq war or took high positions in government. Of course, some of them are still alive and have US green cards! Jimmy Carter lit a flame which led to a big chaos in Iran for half a century, yet IRAN will rise again like a phoenix 🐦‍🔥 through the ashes! 💚🤍❤️
