Iran Hostage Crisis
Eric Muro and Drew Wilburn
Summary
The Iranian Hostage Crisis was the most dramatic series of problems facing Americans at home during Carter Presidency. They did this because Carter didn't let Shah into the United States. Shah was the leader of Iran and when they found out he had cancer, they locked him down.
On November 4, 1979, an angry mob of young Islamic revolutionaries took over more than 60 Americans hostage. They were released after Ronald Reagan took office.
