US relations in Iran

In 1988, the US thought that an Iranian passenger plane was a military plane and shot it down, killing all 290 passengers on board.

In 1979, Iran changed their government, overthrew its Shah, and instated Khomeini as supreme leader.

Under the new government, the former Shah went to live in the US. When Iran learned about this, many protesters held 52 hostages that worked for the US military in Iran for more than a year.

Ronald Reagan illegally paid off Khomeini to release the hostages.

In the 1970's, the US and Iran were neutral with each other.

The US made Iran's Prime Minister from office in 1953.

To this day, tensions between Iran and the USA are high.

Iran stopped the flow of oil in the Strait of Honduras and they also took a few oil tankers. The US then went into a small war with Iran in the Strait of Honduras.

The US started worrying about Iran's nuclear power.

In 2009, a secret nuclear was discovered in Iran.

In 2010, a computer virus was installed on Iranian nuclear enrichment facilities, most likely by the US.

In 2015, Iran agreed to lower Uranium Production by 97%, and the Us started buying oil from Iran again, boosting their economy.

In 2018, we pulled out of the nuclear deal.

After 9/11, both the US and Iran were allies because they both fought against the terrorist group ISIS in Syria and Iraq.
