In the 1980s in Lebanon, Hezbollah, funded and trained by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, carried out bombings that killed American personnel: the April 1983 suicide car bombing at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut (17 U.S. deaths) and the October 1983 Marine barracks bombing (241 U.S. Marines and sailors killed).
