1980s—strained time with US
52 U.S. diplomats held hostage by group of Iranian terrorists who took over American embassy in support of the Islamic revolution.
444 day hostage crisis ended in 1981 The incident was seen by many as a blow against U.S.
influence in Iran and its support of the recently fallen Shah of Iran, Pahlavi, who had recently been allowed into the United States for cancer treatment.
In Iran, the crisis is thought to have strengthened the political hold of radical anti-American forces who supported the hostage taking.
The crisis also marked the beginning of American legal action, or sanctions, that weakened economic ties between Iran and America.
