Iran's Hostage crises

After the revolution of 1979 The United Stated of America Started its smear campaign against Iranian people in hope of returning the Shah of Iran and thus saving their interests. Iranians and especially the students faced with tension and new manipulations everyday by the American administration decided to take action. The place orchestrating all the deception and deceit was the American embassy in Tehran, so on November.04.1979 they seized the embassy and detained 53 of its staff, by which time America started asserting more diplomatic and economical pressure on Iran in hope of releasing the hostages but was unsuccessful.  After 444 days The United State Security Council headed by Zbigniew Brzezinski had come up with a plan to rescue the hostages by military means, 132 Delta Force commandos undergone intensive exercises with buildings simulating the American embassy in Tehran. Finally with Carter’s order Operation Egal Claw was to be carried out, based on the military’s estimate the night of the operation deemed suitable as there was perfect weather conditions, most of the coalition countries around world including all regional countries were informed and based on all estimates there was a 90% chance of a successful operation to free the hostages. All Americas assets within Iran including The United State Army, The United State Delta Force, Ranger Central, all intelligence agencies, Department of Special Activities, logistical Units, Airforce, Unites States Marin Corps and the United state Navy to be taking part in the operation. According to the plane and under order of the Iranian President Banisadr all Iranian Radars and air defense units were switched off and in city Tehran all the lights belonging to Amjadiyeh’s football stadium were stay on the whole night so that the American choppers could use them as landing pads. On early mornings of 24. April.1980 8 choppers and 6 transport aircraft carrying 90 US Personals enter the Iranian airspace, at the early stages of the operation one of the helicopters encountered a malfunction and was forced to land near a small town of Ravar near Kerman city, they abandoned the aircraft and all its occupants were transferred to the other choppers to carry on the mission. Up on taking off due to a sudden sand storm the second aircraft too endured a hydridic malfunction and was forced to fly back to the Nemesis Aircraft Carrier. According to the plan all the transport aircrafts got to the designated area but the helicopters were late for about one and half hours, in preparation for the second stage of the operation whilst refueling one of the helicopters endured a mechanical failure. They decide to inform the White House of the ongoing situation and based on the White House’s order they abandon the operation. On their way back there again, they encountered a heavy sand storm where they had to abandon all 5 remaining helicopters in the Deserst region of Tabas and return to the aircraft carrier with a C-130 aircraft and there on to the Masirah island in Oman. So, whilst playing the game of deceit and betrayal the strongest army in the world using all its might, all its pawns and agents in the region had managed to suffer a humiliating defeat. This is where Allah says “آ أَیُّهَا الَّذِینَ آمَنُواْ اذْکُرُواْ نِعْمَهَ اللَّهِ عَلَیْکُمْ إِذْ جَآءَتْکُمْ جُنُودٌ فَأَرْسَلْنَا عَلَیْهِمْ رِیحاً وَ جُنُوداً لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا وَ کَانَ اللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِیراً” O you who believe! Remember God’s blessings upon you, when forces came against you, and We sent against them a wind, and forces you did not see. God is Observant of what you do. By rushing out of the crash sights where Americans had left their military hardware, they had also left so much invaluable operational evidence behind, such as names of all their contact in Iran and so on. The following day upon his masters wishes the current President of Iran Abdolhassan Banisadr Ordered the Airforce to bomb the entire region in hope of erasing all the evidence and in doing so the commander of Yazd Provance named Mohammad Montazer Ghaem was killed. Following the incident Emam Khomeini peace be up on him famously said, the ones that don’t believe in faith as promised in Allah’s words they should be in charge of people’s affairs. Who destroyed Carter’s helicopters? We did? No sand storm did. The sands were sent by God, so don’t be arrogant of your power that all powers belong to God. One has to lean on his power and know that we all are mortal. As long as Iranian believe in Allah’s divinity as the all mighty and powerful, we are protected against all harm.
