The ones the Iranian revolutionaries took in late 1979, and they still need to impeach Reagan over how that went down. I know he's dead. Impeach him anyway. In October 1980, Reagan sent his running mate, George H.W. Bush (the other one was still bankrupting oil companies at the time) to Iran with a deal: hold the hostages until I am inaugurated president, and I will help you in your border conflict with Iraq. This they did, and in repayment Reagan sold a lot of antitank and antiaircraft missiles to the Ayatollah.
