Did the media claim a Reagan win in 1980 would "embolden the terrorists in Iran?"

Was there any talk of the Ayatollah Khomeini wanting Reagan to win? When Khomeini released the American hostages minutes after Reagan was sworn in, did anyone claim it was proof that the terrorists liked Reagan?

I am curious how the media and the political parties handled the Iranian hostage crisis and the election.
