Iran Official Confesses to Involvement in Deadly Terror Bombing Targeting US Military: Report

Sayyed Issa Tabatabai, the representative of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Lebanon, publicly acknowledged Iran's role in the 1983 terror bombings in Beirut that killed 241 US military members. Tabatabai revealed in an interview that he provided support for martyrdom operations against Americans and Israelis, and that Iran played a significant role in establishing Hezbollah. The admission, which was quickly scrubbed from Iranian media, could lead to new lawsuits against Iran's regime and raises questions about the involvement of Americans who allegedly aided Iranian terrorism.
