The Islamic Republic of Iran’s representative in Lebanon issued the first public announcement of the Iranian regime’s role in the mass murder of American military and diplomatic personnel in the early 1980s in Beirut.

The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) first located and translated the bombshell interview with Sayyed Issa Tabatabai, who serves as the representative of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Lebanon.

The state-controlled Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) quickly scrubbed the damning disclosure that Tabatabai made about Iran’s role in the suicide bombings of Americans, but MEMRI preserved a copy.

Iran and its chief strategic ally, the U.S.-designated terrorist movement Hezbollah, in Lebanon have been blamed for bombing the U.S. Embassy in Beirut in 1983 in which 63 people, including 17 Americans, were murdered, and dual suicide truck bombers blew up the barracks of American and French members of a multinational force in Lebanon in 1983, in which 220 U.S. Marines, 18 U.S. Navy sailors and 3 U.S. Army soldiers lost their lives. Fifty-eight French troops were also murdered in the terrorist attack.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is called an 'ACT OF WAR'.......................

Hezbollah had control of this ammonium fertilizer for years. This belongs to them too.

I’m assuming this is some kind of joke.

Apparently the U.S. is the only country in the world that will send a military force to some sh!t-hole thousands of miles away … and then complain that it’s an “act of war” or a “terrorist attack” when the people there treat that military force like — well, a military force.

I remember reading the details of that Beirut fiasco. Anyone who had any confidence in the military leadership of this country after that one was really naive and delusional.

They suspected Iran but couldn’t prove it at the time.
I think if they would have had irrefutable proof, and presented it to the American People, things would have been different.

Jimmy Carter was responsible for the Ayatollah returning from France and making Iran a disaster. Even the French knew it was a stupid choice.

Think of biden’s $6 billion to Iran as a late payment for services rendered...

[Chainmail]

Now that we have confirmed who led the effort, drone their butts.

[Alberta's Child]

I’ve never been there, and I don’t know anyone who remembers it from before the 1980s.

Beirut used to be a beautiful country. Do you remember that?

Because it used to be Christian.
