Iran played a major role in ordering, planning, and carrying out massive deadly bombings in Beirut in 1983, according to the Islamic Republic of Iran's representative in Lebanon.
Sayyed Issa Tabatabai's comments marked the first public acknowledgment of Iran's involvement in the bombings: at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut in April 1983, in which 63 people, including 17 Americans, were killed; and the barracks of American and French members of the Multinational Force in October 1983, in which 242 U.S. Marines and 58 French troops were killed.
"This is apparently because no official representative of [Ayatollah Ruhollah] Khomeini, the father of the Islamic Republic, or of Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader, had ever said that Iran had any involvement in ordering, planning and carrying out the massive bombings in Lebanon against U.S.," MEMRI said in explaining the deletion.
Iran and Hezbollah, the U.S.-designated terrorist movement Hezbollah, have been blamed for the attacks.
