Why did Iranians take 53 Americans hostage at the American embassy in Iran?

Answer 1

The Iranians took 53 Americans hostage at the American embassy in Iran in 1979 after the United States allowed the deposed Shah of Iran to enter the U.S. for medical treatment. The Iranian revolutionaries, who had overthrown the Shah and established an Islamic republic in Iran, viewed the Shah as a symbol of American interference in Iranian affairs and saw this as an act of disrespect towards their sovereignty. The hostage crisis lasted for 444 days and severely damaged the relationship between Iran and the United States.
