Operation Eagle Claw was a U.S. military mission
conducted on April 24-25, 1980, aimed at rescuing 53 American
hostages held at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran during the Iran hostage
crisis. The operation emerged from President Carter’s growing
frustration with the inability to secure the hostages' release
through diplomatic channels. Executed by the fledgling Delta Force,
the mission faced significant challenges, including mechanical
failures, adverse weather at Desert One, and poor planning.
Ultimately, the mission was aborted, leading to the deaths of eight
servicemen. Key lessons learned included the need for improved
intelligence, contingency planning, and enhanced coordination in
special operations.
