J. Chris...The history I've read doesn't lead me to believe that Carter's Iran reaction did anything to empower jihadists.
If anything I think it defused their movement in Iran. They seem to "thrive" on having an adversary and Carter didn't really give them one.

It's hard to really say though because the Iran/Iraq War soon followed.
