Secret Iran hostage rescue plan kept from most officials
President Carter's abortive raid to free 50 American hostages in Tehran was tightly guarded, with only a small group including Defense Secretary Harold Brown, Gen. David C. Jones, and Deputy Secretary W. Graham Claytor aware. The mission, planned in secrecy in mid April, culminated in a desert landing that ended with eight service members dead and the operation abandoned after landing difficulties and helicopter failures. Carter, Brzezinski, Jordan, and Powell followed events from the White House as news broke at dawn.
