There were 72 hostages and 72 were returned from Iran.
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.
They were held for 444 days after the embassy was attacked, from November 4, 1979 to January 21, 1981, not coincidentally the first full day in office of President Ronald Reagan.

In late 1979, the American embassy in Iran was taken over by Iranian students and militants during the Iranian Revolution. The takeover lasted for 444 days and resulted in the holding of 52 American diplomats and citizens as hostages. This event strained relations between the United States and Iran for many years.

Carter's inability to secure the release of the hostages in Iran symbolized a perceived weakness in American leadership and foreign policy during a critical moment in history. The 444-day crisis not only highlighted the limitations of U.S. power but also fostered a sense of national humiliation and frustration. Many Americans viewed it as a failure that contributed to a decline in confidence in Carter's presidency, ultimately influencing the political landscape leading to the 1980 election.
