Carter and the Middle East

Question 3 • RMA FL-2100310-United States History Semester 2

Which is a true statement about President Carter’s attempts to free the hostages in Iran?

Answer
A
He sought help from the United Nations.
B
He aided the Mujahideen in fighting the Soviets.
C
He led a boycott of the Olympics.
D
He halted grain shipments to Iran.

Explanation

During the Iran hostage crisis, President Carter sought international support and used the United Nations to press for the hostages’ release. The other actions are connected to different events: Carter supported the Afghan resistance against the Soviet invasion, led a boycott of the 1980 Olympics, and halted grain shipments to the Soviet Union—not Iran.
