President Carter permited the deposed Shah of Iran Mohammad Reza Pahlavi to come to the US so he could receive medical treatment for cancer. Iranian militants felt this action was the West interfering with their country's business and argued that the Shah should be returned to Iran to stand trial for his crimes against the country.
