Did reagan's speech ultimately free US hostages in 1980 from Iran? Compared to Ford?

I was told by an instructor that it is possible that Reagan's crazy cow-boy attitude saved the hostages, because Reagan threatened to go to war with Iran if the hostages were not rescued. Minutes after Reagan made such a speech talking about Iran when he took office, Iran backed down.

How true is this?
