During the Iran hostage crisis from 1979 to 1981, the 52 American hostages were subjected to various forms of mistreatment, including psychological abuse, physical intimidation, and prolonged confinement. They were often blindfolded and held in isolation, experiencing fear and uncertainty about their fate. Some hostages reported being beaten or threatened, while others faced harsh living conditions. Despite these hardships, many hostages maintained resilience and solidarity throughout their ordeal.
This event lasted form 11/4 1979- 1/9 1981. It lasted exactly 444 days.
In 1979, in anger at the United States' refusal to render the deposed Shah back into Iranian custody, Iranians loyal to the Khomeini regime stormed the US embassy and took all of the embassy personnel hostage.
The Iran hostage crisis was a situation in which 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 Tehran.The hostages were formally released minutes after the new US president, Ronald Reagan, was sworn in on January 20, 1981.For more information, see the link below.
