Iran Hostage Crisis rescue

Today is April 24, 1980, I have initiated operation Eagle Claw to rescue the hostages trapped in the American embassy in Tehran. The operation failed. The end result was that two air crafts were destroyed along with the deaths of eight American servicemen and one Iranian civilian. Every day I feel less optimistic about the hostage crisis, I can only hope that blood is not spilt over this.
