HOSTAGES IN COURT The hostages tried to sue iran. They won the case when iran had no defense in court. The u.s. government didn't want this to happen, because they didn't want no futher unfriendly relations then what they had. It was ruled that the hostages get anything for the dangers they faced because, of the agreement the U.S. to free the hostages.
