The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to Iran hostage crisis:
The Iran hostage crisis (Persian: بحران گروگانگیری سفارت آمریکا) was a terrorist attack on the United States embassy in Tehran in which 53 Americans were taken hostage on November 4, 1979. The Americans, including diplomats and civilians, were seized by a group of armed students, supporters of the Iranian Revolution, among them Hossein Dehghan (future Iranian Minister of Defense), Mohammad Ali Jafari (future Revolutionary Guards Commander-In-Chief) and Mohammad Bagheri (future Chief of the General Staff of the Iranian Army). The crisis was a pivotal episode in the history of Iran–United States relations. On January 20, 1981, after the signing of the Algiers Accords, the hostages were released.
