In 2013, the united states held its first high-level talks with iran since 1979, when iranian militants took u.s. embassy employees in tehran hostage

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

It is true that several Iranian students went of the American embassy situated in Tehran and took into hostage which was nearly more than 60 American students. The cause of the decision is to allow the deposition of Shah who was expelled from his country a few months earlier before he made his way to the United States

However, the hostage was not all about Shah, however a way of revolution for students of declaring a break with the past as well as ending the interference of its affairs with the Americans. It was also a way of raising their international profile of revolutionary’s.

Answer 2

True

President Carter terminated US diplomatic relations with Iran on April 7, 1980, and any official relationship was absent after that date. The State Department notes that Switzerland serves as protecting power for US interests in Iran. But secret meetings between US and Iranian officials, coordinated with official negotiations between Iran and five other countries, resulted in a deal to halt Iran's nuclear program in 2013.

In the news just recently, US President Donald Trump announced he was pulling the US out of that agreement with Iran, so US-Iran relations remain problematic.
