What was the outcome of the us attempt to rescue the iranian hostages? the hostages were rescued. the rescue attempt failed. eight hostages were killed some hostages were rescued.

Operation Eagle Claw was the attempt at rescuing the hostages that were being held in the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. During preparation, only five of the eight helicopters remained as two had mechanical problems and one helo went down, killing eight servicemen. With this knowledge, President Jimmy Carter aborted the mission. So the answer would be the second option, the rescue attempt failed. i hope this helps :)
