Writing at the blog of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs,
Brig. Gen Shimon Shapira writes that the new defense minister in the
government of “moderate” President Hassan Rouhani was commander of the
Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps in Lebanon in the early 80s and helped
fund and train the people who killed hundreds of U.S. Marines.Instructions for the attack on the Multinational Forces were issued from Tehran to the Iranian ambassador to Damascus, who passed them on to the Revolutionary Guards forces in Lebanon and their Lebanese Shiite allies. According to the U.S. Marine commander, the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) intercepted the Iranian orders to strike on September 26, 1983. It is difficult to imagine that such a high-level directive to the Revolutionary Guards in Lebanon would be transmitted without the knowledge of their commander, Hossein Dehghan. – See more here.
