There were around 66 hostages that were taken from the embassy in Iran in November of 1989. Most of these hostages were kept for a full 444 days until being released. After a year 13 minorities were released because Iran felt sorry for them. A little later just one man was released because he was very ill. All of the hostages said that the hostage keepers made fun of them on a daily basis. Many of the keepers said that there were no letters from family so the wives must be cheating on them. In January 1991 the 52 hostages were released. This was a big relief for family and all of America. Since then US relations with Iran has been very hostile.I think that what Iraq did was very bad and cruel. Also the government should track down the people who did this bad things to these people. The government should also have tried more operations like eagle claw to free the hostages.
