Yes, I remember when it happened. There were some shocking photos of the burnt corpses of the men who were in the rescue mission, in Time magazine
Actually, Ross Perot, hired some people to try to go get the hostages as well and almost succeeded.
Here is a good link

if you are referring to the botched rescue attempt our military made it was a good plan but ran by Idiots and Jimmy Carter is the biggest Idiot of all, he tried to run the operation from the white house, instead of letting the people who knew how to run the operation run it, our great leader Rumsfield tried to run the operation in Iraq , do you see what a mess he made, notice the difference , when Reagan was president he told the generals to get the job done and call him when they were finished, very successful, a one day war, it was over, all of these Idiots in our gov, who has no experience nor knowledge of military tactics and try to run a war machine will never learn I guess, their ego needs to be trimmed .

Yes. Two helicopters were strayed down with a sticky fire retardant foam that basically attracted the sand to the helicopters. When in the air, they collided and crashed killing all on board. Iran never had to fire a shot.
