Andrew J. Glass argues two pivotal factors ended the hostage crisis. Carter’s willingness to strike a comprehensive deal with Iran, and Iran’s decision to press forward while fearing a worse outcome after Carter.

The Washington Star reports the January breakthrough ending the Iranian hostage crisis. President Carter announced a signed agreement with Iran freeing 52 hostages after 14 months, with Deputy Secretary Warren Christopher signing in Algiers. Carter said a few documents remained before release and hinted at emotion to come once the plane cleared Iranian airspace. Powell described a brief moment of happiness as the nation absorbed the news. Outside, Republicans and inauguration bustle continued as the moment settled.
