9 nov 1979 anni - Iran Hostage Crisis

Descrizione:

For 444 days, more than 60 Americans feared for their lives during the Iran Hostage Crisis. This siege, lasting from November 1979 to January 1981, began when angry Iranians stormed the U.S. Embassy in Iran and took hostages. This incident profoundly impacted U.S. relations with Iran and cost Jimmy Carter re-election as president. This is important because the Iranians took US people hostage.
