On November 9, 1979 a group of radical Islamic “college students” overran the American embassy in Iran and took 52 embassy personal and marines prisoner.  For 444 long days, Americans were held hostage against all international law and the very act of entering the American embassy was an act of war.  These hostages were abused and threatened nearly every day of their captivity.
