Background Information
Originally the plan was to just have a sit-in and release statements until the hostage takers released how much support they had
The takeover was executed by local Iranian college students
It was rumored that current Iranian president was apart of the takeover
That is heavily denied by Iranian Government though

More Information
The group was called the Muslim Student Followers of the Imam

Motivation for hostage taking
The students wanted current Iranian prime minister to step down
Jimmy Carters failure to provide a ultimatum
The main reason was they wanted the return of the Shah from Panama
Then once he went to America they REALLY wanted the Shah back http://www.google.com/imgres?

Hostage Conditions in Iran
They were first held in the US embassy but then the rescue mission happened so they were moved
Spread out all throughout Iran Moved to Tehran in 1980 Iran said they were treated
very well, called them Guests In reality they were treated
awful, including beatings, torture and months of solidarity
Threatened regularly with execution

Impact in America
The crisis cost Jimmy Carter the election
Most of America viewed him as passive and incompetent at this time
The wife of one of the hostages hung a yellow ribbon in her tree and people all over the country did it also until the final hostage was home
The fact the hostages were released really strengthen Ronald Reagan’s credibility with the public

Resolution
The united states released frozen Iranian assets
Close to 9 billion dollars Lifted all trade embargos
regarding Iran The remaining 52
hostages are released after 444 days in custody, Jimmy Carter met them in Europe

Jimmy Carters Failure
Tried to get hostages released on humanitarian plea
Did not work at all Then he froze all
trade and economic relations with them
None of these things motivated the iranians

Overall Summary
Iranian students who want change takeover the embassy until they realize how much it unified the country
Jimmy Carter didn’t do anything productive
Made Reagan look great Unified our country Made relations crazy heated with
Iran One of the first times the US
negotiated for hostages Overall a very screwed up situation
