exactly. and...obama is a liar about everything so either way we will never know the truth.
There was a failed attempt to go in commando-style and rescue the hostages. There was catastrophic equipment failure and the mission was aborted. Carter went on national television to announce the failure.

Rave Bannon was in Iran or at least part of the rescue mission, which took place in 1980.
“No member of the US military was deployed to Iran in 1980.”
The embassy employees were still being held hostage. Any military assigned to Tehran at that time would have to have been among them. They were released in January, 1981, simultaneously with the inauguration of the Gipper, who probably would have gone in to get them.
