B. Jimmy Carter

The rescue mission in Iran, commonly known as the Iran hostage crisis, occurred during the presidency of Jimmy Carter. It took place in 1979-1981 when a group of Iranian students took over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, holding American embassy staff hostage for 444 days. The attempted rescue mission, known as Operation Eagle Claw, was ultimately unsuccessful and encountered various operational issues, contributing to the perception of it being a botched mission.

I hope this helped!
