A common feature of the June and September 2025 crimes is the perfidy and active complicity of the United States. In both cases, they were the outcome of traps set by the United States behind the screen of a negotiation. In June, Iran and the United States were preparing to meet for talks when Israel attacked Iran. Hezbollah leaders were assassinated by Israel: Ragheb Harb on February 16, 1984; Abbas al-Moussaoui in southern Lebanon on February 16, 1992; Imad Mughniyeh in Damascus on February 12, 2008. The direct collision of masses of soldiers that has constituted traditional warfare has lost favor since the United States’ setbacks in Indochina, Iraq, and Afghanistan, because of the political risks posed by casualties (the return of the body bags).
