granting asylum to the Shah of Iran
Many Iranians were frustrated with the American government because it supported the shah of Iran during the time. The Shah was a totalitarian leader, which the Iranians did not like, but he tried to westernize Iran which gained the favor of the US. As a result there was a protest outside of the American embassy in Tehran, which ended storming the embassy and taking Americans hostages. The movie Argo details some of these issues.
