The Shah then fled to Egypt. In October of 1979, President Jimmy Carter agreed to allow the Shah to come to the United States for cancer treatment.

These students stormed the American embassy on November 4 and took 66 Americans hostage, demanding that the United States deliver the old shah back to Iran, release frozen Iranian assets, apologize for its past interference in Iran’s affairs, and refrain from future meddling in Iran (Farber, 2005).
