In the Iran Hostage Crisis about 60 people were held hostage from November 4th, 1979 to January 21st, 1981, so that's a total of 444 days the people were held against their will. That's one reason why I want to be there during the Iran Hostage Crisis, and the reason being is because I want to see what all the people had to go through, and how they were treated like while there. To be honest I would want to experience what they had to go through, because maybe then I wouldn't take life for…

The Iran-Contra Affair, of 1986, quickly made the headlines in newspapers worldwide. The sale of arms to Iran that were to improve U.S. influence in Middle Eastern countries would become more than just that.

There were many nations involved in this affair. The main ones were the United States, Iran, and Nicaragua (Weiss et al.1)…

“On April 25, 1980, American television viewers watched in horror as a Shiite Muslim holy man, the Ayatollah held up the forearm and charred skull of a dead American soldier.
