Former US President Jimmy Carter dies at 100

Jimmy Carter, whose presidency lasted only four years due to his inability to resolve the Iran hostage crisis, died at the age of 100 on Sunday.

“I could have been re-elected if I had taken military action against Iran," Carter told CNBC in 2014.

"It would have shown that I was strong and resolute and manly. ... I could have wiped Iran off the map with the weapons that we had. But a lot of innocent people would have been killed."
