MNA � Member of Iranian Parliament Mahmoud Sadeghi has reacted to the deployment of US warships and interceptors in the Persian Gulf region, saying Washington should draw a lesson from its previous failed operations in Iran.

In a Friday tweet, Sadeghi addressed the troops on USS Abraham Lincoln carrier, which has recently entered the Persian Gulf waters, saying, �I suggest the soldiers search �Operation Eagle Claw� in the net.�

The lawmaker was referring to a botched-up military operation by the US forces in the deserts of Tabas, central Iran, in 1980.

On April 25, 1980, the US launched the �Operation Eagle Claw� in an attempt to rescue Americans held in the Iranian capital of Tehran after the 1979 Islamic Revolution. However, a sandstorm struck and brought down the US helicopters involved in the operation, killing eight American servicemen.
