Iran’s judiciary chief warns US defeats in Isfahan, Tabas will be repeated in Persian Gulf
Iran’s judiciary chief has warned that Washington lacks the capability to impose a naval siege on the Islamic Republic, vowing that the historic defeats of American forces at Tabas and Isfahan will be repeated in the waters of the Persian Gulf.
In a post on his X account on Saturday, Gholam-Hossein Mohseni Ejei wrote that April 25, the anniversary of the humiliating defeat of US military personnel in Tabas, now carries a different meaning for the people of Islamic Iran.
The reference to Tabas pertains to Operation Eagle Claw, the failed US military mission in April 1980 to retrieve American detainees in Tehran, which ended in a desert sandstorm collision that killed eight US troops.
“The defeated enemy commandos, in the recent war, were brought down this time in Isfahan and suffered a heavy and instructive defeat at the hands of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Ejei stated.
In a stunning display of coordinated defensive warfare, Iranian forces, combining the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), police commando units, Basij resistance fighters, and regular army elements, destroyed two American C-130 transport planes and two Black Hawk helicopters in southern Isfahan province during the US-Israeli aggression.
Images of burning wreckage, geolocated and verified by Press TV, circulated across global platforms, drawing immediate and unavoidable comparisons to Operation Eagle Claw.

“The Americans should know that they do not have the capability to impose a naval siege on Iran either; Isfahan and Tabas will be repeated once again in the waters of the Persian Gulf,” he added.
Tensions have been running high over a so-called naval blockade the US has enforced on Iranian ports.
Iranian officials have said the blockade is unlawful and a breach of the ceasefire.
Iran says it will not accept diktats or conditions imposed by the United States and will not negotiate under the shadow of threats.
