      iirc, he tried to rescue them by sending in special forces, only for them to crash a helicopter into a C-130 after landing Iran, and then they had to abort

          It was actually this mission that led the army to want an aircraft with the endurance of an airplane and the vtol capabilities of a helicopter, which in turn started development of the osprey

      They flew 2 helicopters across the whole country wish casting that it wouldn’t get shot down.

      He also didn’t manage to offer a good deal to the Iranians, instead Reagan managed to make a secret deal that makes Reagan look like the one who actually solve the crisis once he got into office
