A major foreign policy failure during the Carter presidency was A) American hostages taken in Iran. The Iran Hostage Crisis, which began in November 1979 when fifty-two American diplomats and citizens were taken hostage by Iranian militants, significantly affected Carter's presidency and is often cited as a major failure in his foreign policy.
