In the last year of his administration, Carter's foreign policy was overshadowed by the Iran hostage crisis , in which Iranian students invaded the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 55 hostages. When attempts to negotiate their release failed, Carter authorized a military rescue mission in Apr., 1980, that failed ignominiously.
