 | | Most (notably the U.S. government) believe the Hezbollah militant group, backed by Iran and Syria, was responsible for the two barracks bombings, as well as the April 1983 US Embassy bombing. |
 | | Along with the April 1983 US Embassy bombing, this incident prompted the Inman Report, a review of the security of US facilities overseas for the US Department of State. |
 | | In May of 2003, US District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth declared that the Islamic Republic of Iran was responsible for the 1983 attack, on the grounds that Iran had originally founded Hezbollah and financed the group throughout the years. |
