Embassies are considered the territory of the nation which chooses to represent itself within the boundaries of another nation. US soil was held for 444 days! Ted Koppel was on the news each night, "AMERICA Held Hostage"! Not so many persons held as hostages, but AMERICA held hostage!
So Carter tried to do something. He failed.
This awesome mission to rescue one trooper, did not fail. Just saying!
I agree, Trump did not fail. But Trump knows exactly who he was dealing with, Carter had to deal with an unknown entity. Remember, Carter didn’t get the letter at the funeral, to me that means that Carter wasn’t part of the DS.
Carter got outmaneuvered. Color revolution and Shah of Iran was deposed right before this happened. Care to guess who he had to deal with? No other president before him had to deal with them. Good article that explains what he did try to do. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12-30/jimmy-carter-iran-hostage-crisis-us-presidents-legacy/100220132
