Bit the USA essentially helped the crazies take over by encouraging the dying Shah to leave. And as a result, the Mullahs declared war against the USA:
And because Jimmy Carter was a Christian who hated war, he did nothing even though attacking an embassy is essentially a declaration of war...So nothing was done. Well, almost nothing.
In those days, Hollywood didn't hate America, so helped rescue some of the hostages, and later a film was made about this: Argo..
I couldn't find free movie on line but it is streaming on Netflix if you have it.
But there was another rescue, of American civilians, arranged by their boss: Ross Perot.
