Because the Buffoon from Plains was trying to put some pressure on
Tehran as 1980 was more than half way gone, and the hostages were
still being held prisoner by the Iranian terrorist ‘students’.
 
 
Not exactly.
 
Operation Cyclone was initiated on July 3, 1979; several months before the hostages were taken.

Yes, *exactly*

Operation Cyclone was initiated on July 3, 1979; several months before the hostages were taken.

Cyclone was the brainchild of Brzezinski, but was essentially a sideshow compared to Carter's more blatant undermining of the Shah's government (which led to the taking of the hostages once the Shah fell), and so far as the Iran-Iraq War, a more detailed account of how Carter and Brzezinski instigated that carnage can be found here:

The only thing that Operation Cyclone establishes is that Brzezinski was and is at least as capable as the imaginary character "Dr. Strangelove" (with a buzz haircut), and that the Carter Administration was a curse upon our Nation and the world in general.
