I’m often asked how Iran, being a Shiite-majority country, could have possibly been involved in Al-Qaeda’s September 11, 2001, attacks against the U.S.

As always, MSM refuses to properly this important subject.

First of all, we should take into consideration that Iran’s regime is known for supporting a conglomerate of Islamic extremist groups, regardless of their Sunni or Shiite backgrounds.
3)
For example, Shiite militias in Iraq, dispatching Shiites from Afghanistan & Pakistan to maintain Shiite Assad in power in Syria.

4)
Iran is also known to support Sunni terrorist groups in Palestine, such as Hamas & Islamic Jihad. Tehran has agreed to massively increase its monthly payments to the terror group Hamas in exchange for intelligence on Israeli missile capabilities.

5)
Now, regarding Iran’s ties with al-Qaeda.

“U.S. intelligence officials and prosecutors have long said Iran formed loose ties to the terror organization starting in 1991, something noted in a 19-page al-Qaida report in Arabic...”

Former “CIA director Mike Pompeo suggested the al-Qaeda-Iran pact had been an ‘open secret’ during the Obama administration, which had failed to act.”
theatlantic.com/international/…
8)
“Iran provided logistical assistance to al-Qaeda, facilitating travel for some operatives and providing safe houses for others.”
newsweek.com/irans-secret-f…
9)
“Anyone who wants to strike America, Iran is ready to support him & help him with their frank & clear rhetoric,” AP quotes an Arabic al-Qaeda report from released CIA documents seized during the 2011 raid that killed bin Laden.

(This means Obama knew)

“Iran has collaborated with Al Qaeda covertly and often by proxy due to the latter's notorious reputation. This covert cooperation began in the early 1990's in Sudan, continued after Al Qaeda relocated to Afghanistan...”

11)
“Shia Iran offered Sunni militants ‘money, arms’ and ‘training in Hizbollah camps in Lebanon.’
“Iranian intelligence facilitated the travel of some operatives with visas, while sheltering others.”
telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/11/0…
12)
"Iranian intelligence officials secretly helped provide the al Qaeda attackers with passage and gave them refuge in the Islamic Republic..."
freebeacon.com/national-secur…
13)
As mentioned before, Obama knew of Iran’s ties with Al Qaeda and chose to do nothing about it. This goes alongside a long list of other incentives Obama wholeheartedly provided to Iran’s genocidal regime.
14)
For those interested, I wrote a piece in 2017 about Iran’s ties with al-Qaeda to raise necessary awareness and seek actions. The common narrative pushed by MSM deliberately refuses to pay attention to Iran’s proven role in 9/11.

On a personal note:

I'm not American & I was far away on that day. But I remember.

I feel America’s pain, as I feel the pain of every American, because I'm human.

Please consider me along your side on this day.

And I, too, will #NeverForget

#BREAKING

Navid sent many message from prison saying he was tortured into confessing to crimes he did not commit.
#BREAKING
Iran's genocidal regime has executed Navid Afkari.
His family was informed by regime officials.

Let this be a lesson to those continuing to appease this regime, especially the European troika: France, Germany & the United Kingdom
Bahie Namju, Navid's mother, had desperately pleaded for help to save her innocent son's life.

The genocidal regime ruling #Iran literally needs to send innocent people to the gallows in order to remain in power.

Rapprochement Is a Fantasy—#Iran Thrives on Tension With the U.S.

“… reconciliation with the U.S. is threatening and unacceptable, and all attempts at rapprochement must be suppressed.”

Yet Obama/Biden remain staunch advocates of appeasement.

“At times, observers and policymakers in the U.S. have vested their hopes, and even their policies, in the possibility that tensions among Iran’s political factions might serve to attenuate the regime’s anti-American commitments. Such thinking is wishful at best.”
