Also, there is plenty of evidence that Ronald Reagan’s campaign manager, the late William Casey, ran a multipronged covert operation to keep the hostages in Iranian hands until after the presidential election so that Carter could not have the "October Surprise" that the Reagan campaign believed would decisively tilt the election to Carter.

Ignorance is bliss?
