Which was a cause of the Iran hostage crisis in 1979?

In 1979, the United States allowed the deposed Shah of Iran to enter the country for medical treatment. Many Iranian revolutionaries feared the U.S. would restore him to power, as it had helped do in 1953. That anger helped prompt the seizure of the U.S. embassy in Tehran, so the correct choice is the Shah’s entry into the United States.
