  5. 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 http://www.google.com/imgres?q=iranian+hostage+crisis+embassy&hl=en&safe=active&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=Yn1S6lAe4xCCmM:&imgrefurl=http://illinoispedant.blogspot.com/2009/11/30-years-ago-today.html&docid=xhfAnMBdAG7HuM&w=400&h=300&ei=R7mATrfoPJGXtwf8wezICQ&zoom=1&biw=1217&bih=688&iact=rc&dur=405&page=3&tbnh=130&tbnw=184&start=33&ndsp=17&ved=1t:429,r:4,s:33&tx=120&ty=27

  6. More Information • The group was called the Muslim Student Followers of the Imam • It was called the second Iranian Revolution by a key Iranian leader • Nearly all of Iran was behind the hostage takers, and the US embassy was called a Spy Den http://www.google.com/imgres?q=iranian+hostage+crisis&hl=en&safe=active&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=SjE40wWGqZ3f-M:&imgrefurl=http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Iran_hostage_crisis&docid=8HwTcK2uHuNRQM&w=200&h=224&ei=creATr6RF5S2tgflqLTSCQ&zoom=1&biw=1217&bih=688&iact=rc&dur=312&page=1&tbnh=149&tbnw=133&start=0&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:4,s:0&tx=99&ty=100

  7. Timeline of Important Events November 4th, 1979 Students Storm the Embassy November 14th, 1979 J Carter issues executive order Mid-November some minority hostages are released January 27, 1980 Six US diplomats make it to Canada September 12th, 1980 Terms for hostage release is released Nov 4th, 1980 Reagan wins election January 20th, 1981 Hostages are released 444 days after release http://www.google.com/imgres?q=iranian+hostage+crisis+1979&hl=en&safe=active&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=3PEuqXQRKjatfM:&imgrefurl=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_hostage_crisis&docid=HNhr0c9-w9V6oM&w=340&h=227&ei=NbeATpqPJZHAtgf15YXRCQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=103&vpy=162&dur=250&hovh=181&hovw=272&tx=189&ty=86&page=1&tbnh=151&tbnw=202&start=0&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0&biw=1217&bih=688

  8. 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?q=iranian+hostage+crisis&hl=en&safe=active&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=aeC0GoOZVI8L7M:&imgrefurl=http://www.infobarrel.com/Iran_Hostage_Situation,_and_the_Impending_Future_of_Iran&docid=TztSNcVvv-NmgM&w=250&h=344&ei=creATr6RF5S2tgflqLTSCQ&zoom=1&biw=1217&bih=688&iact=rc&dur=296&page=4&tbnh=145&tbnw=105&start=51&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:3,s:51&tx=42&ty=92

  9. 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 http://www.google.com/imgres?q=iranian+hostage+crisis&hl=en&safe=active&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=TG_B5nSG87ALvM:&imgrefurl=https://kanach-literature.pbworks.com/w/page/6776587/444%2520day%2520long%2520Iran%2520Hostage%2520Crisis&docid=SohxFOxlHb_LRM&w=400&h=297&ei=17qATpjCPNC1tgectPzVCQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=312&vpy=326&dur=390&hovh=193&hovw=261&tx=130&ty=107&page=1&tbnh=157&tbnw=209&start=0&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:6,s:0&biw=1217&bih=688

  10. 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 http://www.google.com/imgres?q=ronald+reagan+sworn+in&hl=en&safe=active&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=Wjnep_J9nobpZM:&imgrefurl=http://history1900s.about.com/library/photos/blyreagan14.htm&docid=AOfvJdQFcLFKdM&w=400&h=266&ei=Q7qATpS_JcyBtgeAu83PCQ&zoom=1&biw=1217&bih=688&iact=rc&dur=577&page=1&tbnh=149&tbnw=201&start=0&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:10,s:0&tx=131&ty=52

  11. Failed Rescue Mission • Launched on April 24th, 2011 • A helicopter crashed and 8 service men died • They were going to fly 8 copters into the embassy and rescue the hostages and take them two four waiting planes in the Iranian desert • One helicopter crashed while trying to refuel in a dust storm http://www.google.com/imgres?q=helicopter+crash&hl=en&safe=active&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=UnXf_HHICbH08M:&imgrefurl=http://dalje.com/en-world/eight-dead-in-siberian-helicopter-crash---agencies/223005&docid=6i4xHkHpKNWzDM&w=400&h=300&ei=ubmATrGwIIK5tgflzPXECQ&zoom=1&biw=1217&bih=688&iact=rc&dur=312&page=3&tbnh=140&tbnw=187&start=30&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:6,s:30&tx=136&ty=55

  13. 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 http://www.google.com/imgres?q=Jimmy+carter+meeting+hostages&hl=en&safe=active&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=1o2rH4OqTd-y5M:&imgrefurl=http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/timeline/carter/3/&docid=opkKpbfj3_TBKM&w=258&h=144&ei=wLWATpyFMMebtwfXkbDcCQ&zoom=1&biw=1217&bih=688&iact=rc&dur=188&page=1&tbnh=115&tbnw=206&start=0&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:0&tx=105&ty=89

  14. 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 http://www.google.com/imgres?q=pissed+iranian&hl=en&safe=active&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=A0rwO29DP0eidM:&imgrefurl=http://www.emptyquarter.net/%3Fcat%3D4&docid=bb58cSUKH9EqFM&w=150&h=150&ei=9LyATuaICYW-tgfckbnGCQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=960&vpy=191&dur=1092&hovh=120&hovw=120&tx=83&ty=76&page=1&tbnh=120&tbnw=120&start=0&ndsp=15&ved=1t:429,r:4,s:0&biw=1217&bih=688

  15. 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 http://www.google.com/imgres?q=iranian+flag&hl=en&safe=active&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=_xW2acO03LVXfM:&imgrefurl=http://www.33ff.com/flags/worldflags/Iran_flag.html&docid=uAFMtx5n6dQCBM&w=360&h=240&ei=Wr6ATtWNNYKEtgefmqHZCQ&zoom=1&biw=1217&bih=688&iact=rc&dur=109&page=1&tbnh=103&tbnw=155&start=0&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:4,s:0&tx=57&ty=53 http://www.google.com/imgres?q=usa+flag&hl=en&safe=active&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=fmAV5pql6EIYYM:&imgrefurl=http://us-flag.net/pictures/flag/&docid=6yJDPF3YThK61M&w=481&h=329&ei=oL6ATumdBsSjtgfLvZDSCQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=592&vpy=248&dur=328&hovh=186&hovw=272&tx=134&ty=110&page=1&tbnh=110&tbnw=161&start=0&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:3,s:0&biw=1217&bih=688
