The iranians wanted the Shah sent back to Iran to be tried
The name "Iran Hostage Crisis" implies that there were hostages held by the Iranian government and this holding of hostages fomented a 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.

President Jimmy Carter implemented several measures to secure the release of American hostages taken by Iranian militants in 1979. His administration initially sought diplomatic solutions and imposed economic sanctions on Iran, attempting to pressure the Iranian government. When those efforts failed, Carter authorized a failed military rescue operation, known as Operation Eagle Claw, in April 1980, which ultimately highlighted the challenges of rescuing the hostages. The crisis continued until January 1981, when the hostages were released shortly after Carter left office.
