How did carter react to the Iranian hostage crisis?

Answer:
He sent a team of soldiers to try to free them, however that mission ended with a disastrous helicopter wreck. Carter then kept his head and tried negotiation, unlike some people who wanted to invade, killing probably tens of thousands of people.

Eventually the hostages were released right after Ronald Reagan became President--possibly the result of some deal between Reagan's team and the Iranians.
