52 US citizens were held hostage for 444 days from November 4, 1979 to January 20, 1981, after a group of Islamist students and militants took over the Embassy of the United States in support of the Iranian Revolution. This was the Iran hostage crisis. Carter sent a delat team but the mission was aborted because an airplane struck another aircraft. Bad press allways did the thing but there were other things that did worse in Carter's image.

What was the purpose of the Iran hostage?

The Iran hostage crisis, which began in November 1979, aimed to challenge U.S. influence in Iran following the overthrow of the Shah and the establishment of the Islamic Republic. Iranian militants seized the U.S. embassy in Tehran and held 52 American diplomats and citizens hostage for 444 days, seeking to pressure the U.S. to return the Shah for trial and to express their anger over American support for his regime. The crisis symbolized broader anti-American sentiment in the region and had significant implications for U.S.-Iran relations.
