"In April 1983, a suicide truck bomb destroyed the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, killing 63 people, including 17 Americans. U.S. investigations concluded that Hezbollah, backed by Iran, were responsible."
"In June 1996, a massive truck bomb hit U.S. Air Force housing in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, killing 19 U.S. service members. A U.S. federal court ruled that Iran financed and directed the attack."
"The government of Iran brutally killed Iranian protesters in 2009, 2022 and 2026, with the 2009 protests resulting in dozens to over 100 killed, and many more missing or arrested."
Iran has been implicated in numerous terrorist attacks against Americans, including the 1983 U.S. Embassy bombing and the 1996 Dhahran bombing, leading to U.S. sanctions. The U.S. courts have linked Iran to these attacks, with evidence pointing to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' involvement. Additionally, Iran has violently suppressed protests, resulting in significant casualties among its own citizens. The U.S. and Israel launched an attack on Iran in 2026, citing years of failed negotiations and Iran's ongoing support for terrorism.
