Answer 2

Answer:

b) More than four dozen American hostages were taken at the embassy.

Explanation:

In October 1979 the U.S. State Department was educated that the ousted Iranian ruler required therapeutic treatment that his associates asserted was accessible just in the United States; U.S. specialists, thusly, educated the Iranian PM, Mehdi Bazargan, of the shah's looming landing on American soil. Bazargan, in light of the February assault, ensured the wellbeing of the U.S. international safe haven and its staff.

The shah landed in New York City on October 22. The underlying open reaction in Iran was moderate, however on November 4 the government office was assaulted by a horde of maybe 3,000, some of whom were furnished and who, after a short attack, abducted 63 American people.

Within the following couple of days, delegates of U.S. President Jimmy Carter and Tehrān-based negotiators from different nations endeavored yet neglected to free the prisoners. An American appointment headed by previous U.S. lawyer general Ramsey Clark—who had long-standing relations with numerous Iranian authorities—was denied admission to Iran.
