Answer 2

The Iran hostage crisis ushered in an era in which the greatest foreign policy challenges facing the United States were the threats posed by conflicts in the Middle East. Today, the United States still finds itself facing similar threats in this region. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, diplomatic struggles with Iran, and the ongoing threat of terrorism continue to create problems for the United States.
