Only the second statement is correct — Carter failed to bring home the Iranian hostages.

Briefly:
- He did succeed in bringing Egypt and Israel together (Camp David Accords, 1978).
- He normalized relations with the People’s Republic of China in 1979, so “not being able to promote détente with China” is not a correct characterization.
- He did admit the Shah to the U.S. for medical treatment in 1979, so “not bringing the Shah to the United States” is false.
