Abstract: Abstract Reporting to President Carter on 6 January 1980, the UN Secretary General, Kurt Waldheim, said that economic sanctions were unlikely to secure the release of the hostages, and that Iran would not be intimidated by economic embargoes; any such action would merely serve to harden attitudes to the United States.1 Despite the successes recounted in the previous chapter, the evidence available is not sufficient to prove that the sanctions were effective enough to force the release of the hostages. There are, indeed, several indications to the contrary.
