No. It was due to a political quarrel over whether the Shah, the deposed monarch of Iran, should be returned to Iran for a trial (which would have been a kangaroo court leading to his execution) or should be allowed to continue living in exile. Since the US chose to do the latter, the Iranians under the new government of Ayatollah Khomeini decided to the attack the US Embassy as retribution.
