After the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979, the U.S. embassy in Tehran was stormed by Iranian militants, leading to the Iran Hostage Crisis. Fifty-two American diplomats and citizens were taken hostage and held for 444 days, prompting a diplomatic standoff. This event significantly strained U.S.-Iran relations and had lasting impacts on American foreign policy in the region. The hostages were eventually released on January 20, 1981, coinciding with Ronald Reagan's inauguration as President.
