Was the Iran hostage crisis caused by a religious difference?
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.
Who gained control of Iran after the shah was overthrown?
After Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi left on January 16, 1979, control of the government fell to his Prime Minister Shahpour Bakhtiar, who continued to rule until February 11, 1979. Iran was then ruled by an interim government headed by Mehdi Bazargan as Prime Minister until his resignation on November 6, 1979 in protest of the attack on the US Embassy (which he believed were brutish actions unbefitting of Iranians). With Bazargan's resignation, the Islamists led by Ruhollah Khomeini swept into power and began to rule the country.
Who led the over throw of the shah of Iran in 1979?
Iran is mostly Shiites who are deviated from the mainstream straight path of Islam; they visit the graves to perform some practice that invalidates the genuine creed of Islam such as asking the dead people to benefit them, help them or protect them etc. With regard to your question, it was the Khomeini who made the new regime on Iran in 1979.

Which man was mostly closely related with the lranian hostage crisis?
The Iranian hostage crisis, which lasted from 1979 to 1981, is most closely associated with Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the leader of the Iranian Revolution. His rise to power and the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran created a hostile environment towards the United States, particularly after the U.S. allowed the exiled Shah to enter for medical treatment. This culminated in the takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran by Iranian students, who held 52 American diplomats and citizens hostage for 444 days. Khomeini's leadership and ideologies fueled the crisis and its anti-American sentiments.
What was the ayatollahs response to the shah coming to the us for medical treatment?
When the Shah of Iran came to the U.S. for medical treatment in October 1979, Ayatollah Khomeini and his supporters viewed it as a provocation and a betrayal. They demanded his extradition to face trial in Iran for his actions during his reign. This incident intensified anti-American sentiment in Iran and fueled the ongoing revolution against the Shah's regime, ultimately leading to the storming of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran later that month.
