On November 4, 1979, a group of Iranian Revolutionaries stormed the American Embassy in Tehran, Iran, and took 66 American diplomats and citizens hostage.
Over the next 444 days, the hostage crisis dominated the news and became the single biggest foreign policy issue for both the United States and Iran.
Even after the hostages were released, it has affected US/Iranian relations for the last four decades.
Learn more about the Iranian Hostage Crisis, its causes and how it was resolved on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
