Eagle Claw, Operation a disastrous mission, on April 24, 1980, to rescue fifty-two Americans held hostage by Iranian militants. Eight helicopters flew 600 miles to a site called
Desert One to rendezvous with C-130 transport planes. Bad weather and mechanical failure aborted the mission, leaving eight marines dead. The failed mission followed the
Carter Doctrine, announced by President
Jimmy Carter on January 23, 1980, which asserted that the United States would use military force if necessary to defend its “vital interests” in the Persian Gulf region.
