The most notable hostage crisis of the late 1970s was the Iran Hostage Crisis, which began on November 4, 1979. Iranian students stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and took 52 American diplomats and citizens hostage, demanding the extradition of the former Shah of Iran, who was in the U.S. for medical treatment. The hostages were held for 444 days, leading to a significant deterioration in U.S.-Iran relations and influencing American politics for years to come. The crisis ended on January 20, 1981, coinciding with the inauguration of President Ronald Reagan.
