Tabas (طبس) or Tabas-e-Golshan (meaning city with a lot of flowers in a desert) is a desert city and a large oasis in the Iranian province of Yazd (and formerly in the south of the Khorasan province). It was near Tabas that the United States rescue operation called Operation Eagle Claw failed, because of mechanical breakdowns to the aircraft involved.
