On April 24, 1980, the US military launched Operation Eagle Claw, aimed at rescuing 52 hostages held at the US Embassy in Tehran. Ordered by President Jimmy Carter, the mission failed due to a severe sandstorm in the Tabas desert, leading to the tragic loss of eight U.S. commandos. The operation followed the 1979 Islamic Revolution, which severed diplomatic ties between the US and Iran. The failure significantly impacted Carter’s presidency and was seen by Iranian leader Imam Khomeini as divine punishment for U.S. aggression. The legacy of Operation Eagle Claw continues to shape US-Iran relations today.

French President Emmanuel Macron announced France’s official recognition of the State of Palestine during a meeting with Saudi Arabia, a move aimed at boosting Palestinian morale despite ongoing Israeli-Palestinian tensions. The far-right Israeli government opposes Palestinian statehood amid escalating violence in Gaza, which has resulted in over 65,000 Palestinian deaths. Macron stressed the urgency of peace and a two-state solution at the UN, where several countries have also recognized Palestine. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas called for full UN membership, while Israel and the US warned that such recognitions could complicate conflict resolution efforts.

Araghchi expressed concern over Israel’s aggressive actions, which he sees as a threat to international law and stability, and condemned the Israeli-U.S. aggression against Iran, which he argued jeopardizes diplomatic negotiations. He warned that escalating military budgets would lead to increased conflict and instability worldwide.
