The Iran hostage crisis ended after negotiations held in 1980 and early 1981, with Algerian diplomats acting as intermediaries. Iranβs demands centered largely on releasing frozen Iranian assets and lifting a trade embargo that the U.S. had coordinated. An agreement having been made, the hostages were released on January 20, 1981.
