Iran frees 52 U.S. hostages after 444 days in captivity
After 444 days in captivity the 52 U.S. hostages were released in Tehran in exchange for roughly 8 billion in Iranian assets. They flew to Algiers on two Algerian jetliners and will proceed to Wiesbaden, Germany for medical checkups before returning home. The release followed the US and Iran resolving an interest dispute and transferring funds via an escrow in London. Reagan hailed the moment as the hostages began their journey home.
