美國人吃飽飯沒事幹,強行介入黎巴嫩的內戰,引發伊斯蘭教的阿拉真主黨人士,強烈反對,終於引來殺身之禍,傳言美國駐黎巴嫩貝魯特的海軍陸戰隊的軍紀不整,經常留連忘返於貝魯特的酒吧及風化場所,更引起極端保守的伊斯蘭教教徒的不滿,他們認為美國人並不是為要保護黎巴嫩,而是花天酒地的戲弄黎巴嫩的女人,在當時黎巴嫩的貝魯特有中東地區的小巴黎的雅號,各式各樣的酒吧,餐廳,舞廳等消費性的場所,充滿貝魯特的大街小巷,由來已久的開放與歐洲各國貿易,旅遊等行業,在黎巴嫩興起,導致於伊斯蘭教與基督教的觀念不同,執法亦不同,因為伊斯蘭教禁止酒類與女色,但是歐洲人與美國人,卻公然為之,貝魯特的街頭燈紅酒綠,對於保守型的伊斯蘭教的教徒,無法接受與容忍,終於因為美國海軍陸戰隊的士兵,酒後亂性,傳聞調戲與性交易黎巴嫩女人的事件,引起爭議,最終引發大爆炸,美軍的軍營的報復事件.

1983年貝魯特軍營炸彈襲擊（1983 Beirut barracks bombings）1983年10月23日黎巴嫩內戰期間，兩輛卡車炸彈襲擊了美國和法國在黎巴嫩首都貝魯特的駐地建築物，造成共307人死亡，其中包括241名美國人和58名法國人、6位平民及兩位襲擊者。事件發生後，伊斯蘭聖戰組織宣傳對此事負責，但時任美國國防部長卡斯珀·威拉德·溫伯格稱並不清楚此次襲擊究竟是誰所為。2016年4月，美國最高法院判決，准許在本次襲擊中喪生美軍的家屬從被凍結的20億美元伊朗資產取得賠償.

On October 23, 1983, two truck bombs struck buildings in Beirut, Lebanon, housing American and French service members of the Multinational Force in Lebanon (MNF), a military peacekeeping operation during the Lebanese Civil War. The attack killed 307 people: 241 U.S. and 58 French military personnel, six civilians, and two attackers.

The first suicide bomber detonated a truck bomb at the building serving as a barracks for the 1st Battalion 8th Marines (Battalion Landing Team – BLT 1/8) of the 2nd Marine Division, killing 220 Marines, 18 sailors and 3 soldiers, making this incident the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States Marine Corps since the Battle of Iwo Jima in World War II and the deadliest single-day death toll for the United States Armed Forces since the first day of the Tet Offensive in the Vietnam War. Another 128 Americans were wounded in the blast; 13 later died of their injuries, and they are counted among the number who died.^[ An elderly Lebanese man, a custodian/vendor who was known to work and sleep in his concession stand next to the building, was also killed in the first blast.

 The explosives used were later estimated to be equivalent to as much as 9,500 kg (21,000 pounds) of TNT.

The attacks eventually led to the withdrawal of the international peacekeeping force from Lebanon, where they had been stationed following the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) withdrawal in the aftermath of Israels 1982 invasion of Lebanon.

In 2004 it was reported that an Iranian group called the Committee for the Commemoration of Martyrs of the Global Islamic Campaign had erected a monument, at the Behesht-e-Zahra cemetery in Tehran, to commemorate the 1983 bombings and its "martyrs".
