GETTING OSAMA Lessons For India Time our security establishment learnt from the systemic changes and reform that has been attempted by the US in the two decades between the disaster in Iran, the 9/11 attack and the subsequent war against terror in Afghanistan Thousands of miles separate the Iranian desert from Abottabad in Pakistan. It took the Americans a little over two decades to cover this distance and come into their own. Few will remember how the U.S Special Operations Forces (SoF) went into Iran in 1980 to rescue hostages from the U.S Embassy in Tehran. The area where the U.S SoF would land and launch their rescue was code-named Desert One and this is where Operation Eagle Claw became an unmitigated disaster.
