The answer is true. The Iranian Hostage crisis cost Carter his presidency after the US Embassy in Iran was by Islamic militants and a failed rescue attempt by US special forces. The hostages were held for more than 400 days and was released on the same day Carter left office and minutes after President Reagan was sworn in.
