I think it's becoming a cliché with the antagonists to have lost a relative to America or whoever they despise. Imran Zakhaev was first, as his son Viktor committed suicide knowing he would face future interrogation. Menendez was next, who had his father killed in a raid, and his sister blown up by an enraged Woods. Finally, in comes John Irons, who's son ended up dying when his arm got stuck. Not to mention, he actually saved Mitchell, as he would have died (or at the very least injured) if he continued to try and free him.
