Iran demanded that the US return the former Shah of Iran (Mohammed Reza Pahlavi) to Iran for a trial (which would undoubtedly result in his execution) and unfreeze Iranian government funds in Swiss Banks in exchange for the US hostages. Iran eventually got the money, but not the Shah, who died in exile in Egypt.

What year was iran hostage crisis?

The Iran hostage crisis was a diplomatic crisis that lasted from November 4, 1979 until January 20, 1981. Members of the Muslim Student Followers of the Imam's Line, a group of militant university students who were supported by the new Islamic regime, held 63 diplomats and three additional U.S. citizens hostage inside the American diplomatic mission in Tehran, Iran. Fifty two people, not including those who were released, were held hostage until the conclusion of the crisis. The United States attempted a rescue operation named Operation Eagle Claw. The operation failed, resulting in the deaths of five USAF Airmen and three US Marines. Some political scientists argue that the crisis was one of the primary reasons for U.S. President Jimmy Carter's defeat in the U.S. Presidential Election of 1980. The crisis reached its conclusion with the signing of the Algiers Accords. On January 20, 1981, the hostages were formally released into United States custody after spending 444 days in captivity. The release took place just minutes after Ronald Reagan was officially sworn in as president.In November of 1979 55 americans were taken hostage.They were kept for over a year.On January 20,1981 the hostages were released.It was the same day that Ronald Reagan became the 40th president of the United States.


What caused the Iran Hostage Crisis?

The Iranian Hostage Crisis was caused by Jimmy Carter, who helped the Iranian Shah escape and receive medical treatment. The Iranian revolutionists didn't support this and took the US people hostages because they wanted the US government to extradite the Shah and have him stand trial for crimes he committed.

What contributed the least to Jimmy Carter's defeat in 1980?

President Carter's ineffective handling of the Iran Hostage Crisis. U.S. Embassy employees and Marine guards were held hostage for 444 days in Tehran, Iran by Iranian student revolutionaries. When it became clear that President Carter was unable to get the U.S. hostages freed either by negotiation or by force, Carter's credibility and stature in the U.S. and the world took a fatal fall. On the other hand, only months earlier, Texas businessman and millionaire Ross Perot had recruited a team of Special Forces type mercenaries to enter Iran and rescue a number of his employees who had been arrested and held prisoner. The Perot sponsored rescue mission was a success. Carter's attempt at a recue mission was a complete failure. It resulted in the deaths of eight American Serviceman at a desolate patch of desert in Iran, only halfway to Tehran. The team hadn't even reached Tehran. Carter has since been frequently referred to as a weak and ineffective President. Ronald Reagan was viewed as a tough, strong, clear-minded man who could, and would, kick butt and take names. The Iranian revolutionaries apparently shared this view of Ronald Reagan. At virtually the exact same time that Reagan was taking the Oath of Office as the newly elected President, on January 20, 1981, the Iranian revolutionaries were untying the hostages as quickly as humanly possible and pushing them onto jet planes headed for The United States.
