The Iran hostage crisis was definitely a setback for American morale and prestige in the world. On the flip side, the crisis kind of strengthened the prestige of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. That said, when Iraq invaded Iran the next year in what became known as the Iran-Iraq War, much of the world didn’t come to their rescue, and perhaps a big reason why was the hostage crisis. Even though Iran and the United States reached a deal, relations between the two countries have stayed sour long afterward. Even today, more than 40 years later, tensions are high. There is no United States embassy in Iran and no Iranian embassy in the United States. In fact, the two countries haven’t had any formal diplomatic relations since 1980.

Before we begin today’s story, let me tell you about these things called embassies.
Embassies are a permanent form of diplomatic missions. Basically, it’s where a group of people from one country represent that country within another country. They are there on behalf of their home country to carry out good relations with the government of the country they are in.
