I only worked with US SF guys on joint ops and training. After the failure in Iran, we were visited many, many times by the US special operation community. We had been doing these in and out operations for 20 years and we passed on a lot of our experience to the US and other countries.
I personally feel that operation was doomed to fail unless there had been some backroom deals made with the Iranian military to stand down. It would have been pretty much impossible to move into the heart of Tehran at that time without having to fight your way in and out.
