Pence incorrectly links Iran to 9/11 while trying to justify America's assassination of the country's top general
Vice President Mike Pence on Friday incorrectly and misleadingly linked Iran to the September 11, 2001, terror attacks in a series of tweets aimed at justifying the assassination of Iran's top general the day prior.

The US killed Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani in a drone strike in Baghdad on Thursday, under the direct orders of President Donald Trump.

As the Trump administration defended the assassination on Friday, the vice president in a tweet said that Soleimani had assisted "in the clandestine travel to Afghanistan of 10 of the 12 terrorists who carried out the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States."

But the official government report on the events leading up to the attacks, known as the 9/11 Commission report, undermines Pence.

The report states there is "no evidence that Iran or Hezbollah was aware of the planning for what later became the 9/11 attack."

It's not the first time Presidents have lied, I mean, incorrectly linked countries to 9/11.

"you know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror. And I believe it." George Bush 11/6/2006

George Bush last night admitted that Saddam Hussein had no hand in the 9/11 terror attacks, but he asked Americans to support a war in Iraq that he said was the defining struggle of our age. 9/12/2006

He said the opposite thing on the same day.

Nineteen of the 9-11 hijackers were Saudi Arabian citizens and Sunni Muslims. The Iranians are Shiite Muslims who also hate Christians. Russia backs Iran. Iran backed the Hezbollah who attacked Israel from Lebanon in 2006. Iranian and Saudi allies have been at war with each other in Yemen.

The Iranian general was executed after he ordered attacks that killed hundreds of Americans in Iraq (New York Times). The general was blamed for the demonstrations at the US embassy in Iraq where they chanted, “Death to America.”

If you read the whole article it says essentially what Pence said, just not in the same words. But he’s a republican so he must be bad. And wrong.
And I’m curious as I look at the thread title. Who assassinated a whole country? That’s a lot of people.

In addition to the massive logical and factual gaps already illustrated by others, some here apparently are incapable of comprehending the difference between an individual action and the actions of a State.

This had [nothing to do] with polls
or the elections or 9/11 [payback].

The American attack was in retaliation to 30 rockets fired at the K-1 military base in northern Iraq two days earlier. To try and prevent more deaths.

Iran’s Deadly Puppet Master
Iran’s Deadly Puppet Master

He is responsible for the deaths of hundreds
of American servicemen during the Iraq War.

In 2003, Iran initiated a long-term shadow war
against the U.S. in Iraq, led by Suleimani.

http://militarytimes.com/news/your-...-in-iraq-than-previously-known-pentagon-says/

Soleimani's luck couldn't last; this time he met his end (obit-analysis)

He oversaw Iran’s policy to support
Syrian dictator Bashar Assad.

Suleimani has the blood of over 600
American military personal on his hands.

He ordered Bagdad to stop protests, So far,
500 protesters have been killed by Irans fire.

Heading the Quds Force, Suleimani oversaw proxy organizations such as Kataib Hezbollah , Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza, and the Houthis in Yemen, and more.

Hardly a rocket was fired from the Gaza Strip
to Israel without Suleimani signing off on it.

All chanting death to America.

They vow to destroy little Satan, Israel,
and the great Satan, the United States.

the current supreme leader is a twelver
Twelver - Wikipedia

Most Twelvers are in Iran.
Khamenei [last] told the people of Iran:
“We must prepare for the coming.
Since we consider ourselves the warriors
of the 12th imam, we must fight.
Under the leadership of God, and with
his invisible Power, we will restore
the glory of Islamic Civilization.”


to “pave the way” for their messiah’s return,
believe they need to create bloody carnage.

Maybe he was referring to what the bipartisan 9/11 report found and seized documents from Bin Laden:
Iran proved vital to al Qaeda’s safe passage, according to bin Laden records, 9/11 commission..
The sources found at those links have been found to not be trustworthy for truthful reporting.

Here is what can be found by reading the 9/11 Commission Report.

General Soleimani was not named at any point in the 9/11 Commission Report and the report states that “We have found no evidence that Iran or Hezbollah was aware of the planning for what later became the 9/11 attack."

So do you believe Iran, that confessed to it ?

A senior Iranian official reportedly went on state television and explained that the government surveilled the September 11 hijackers and facilitated their air travel.

"Mohammad-Javad Larijani, an international affairs assistant in Iran’s judiciary, said on Iranian television that the ayatollahs’ government had directly assisted the 9/11 al-Qaida hijackers, giving them temporary sanctuary and then aiding their passage to the United States.

Larijani said, “Our government agreed not to stamp the passports of some of them because they were on transit flights for two hours, and they were resuming their flights without having their passports stamped. However, their movements were under the complete supervision of the Iranian intelligence.”

Thanks. I believe the documents seized during Operation Neptune Spear close the case on this. They show communications between bin Laden, Iran and their surrogates.

No. Because Iran didn't confess to knowing about al Qaeda's plans to attack the US on 9/11, nor did they knowingly assist the 9/11 hijackers. Your source is misrepresenting what was said in the Mohammad-Javad Larijani interview.

"Mohammad-Javad Larijani, an international affairs assistant in Iran’s judiciary, said on Iranian television that the ayatollahs’ government had directly assisted the 9/11 al-Qaida hijackers, giving them temporary sanctuary and then aiding their passage to the United States.

Larijani said, “Our government agreed not to stamp the passports of some of them because they were on transit flights for two hours, and they were resuming their flights without having their passports stamped. However, their movements were under the complete supervision of the Iranian intelligence.”
Here is the interview that the above quote from Larijani came from.


He is in no way confessing that Iran played a role in the 9/11 attack and even refers to the 9/11 Commission Report where it talks about the hijackers passing through Iran on their way to Afghanistan and how they chose this route because the Iranian government routinely didn't stamp the passports of Saudi nationals.

From the 9/11 Commission Report:

"KSM and Binalshibh have confirmed that several of the 9/11 hijackers (at least eight, according to Binalshibh) transited Iran on their way to or from Afghanistan, taking advantage of the Iranian practice of not stamping Saudi passports. They deny any other reason for the hijackers' travel to Iran. They also deny any relationship between the hijackers and Hezbollah."

And once again the conclusion:

“We have found no evidence that Iran or Hezbollah was aware of the planning for what later became the 9/11 attack."

https://avalon.law.yale.edu/sept11/911Report.pdf

Even if Iran did have a direct hand in 9/11, do you really believe they would publicly confess to it? Common sense tells us that they wouldn't.
