Steven Glass · Answer 2

The the correct answer is the hostages were freed in 1981 after President Reagan's inauguration.

The Iran Hostage crisis took place in the year 1979, when a group of Iranian students stormed the U. S. Embassy in Tehran, taking more than 60 American hostages. The immediate cause of this action was President Jimmy Carter's decision to allow Iran's deposed Shah, a pro-Western autocrat who had been expelled from his country some months before, to come to the United States for cancer treatment. However, the hostages were set free on January 21, 1981, 444 days after the crisis began and just hours after President Ronald Reagan delivered his inaugural address.
