The Iranians took 53 Americans hostage at the American embassy in Iran in 1979 in response to the US government allowing the exiled Shah of Iran to enter the United States for medical treatment. Iranians viewed the Shah as a dictator who had oppressed their country, and they saw the US government's decision as a betrayal of their revolution. The hostage crisis lasted for 444 days and strained relations between Iran and the United States.
