The Evidence that Proves Iran and Hezbollah Directly Supported 9/11, and Used Al Qaeda as a Proxy.

It is well known that Iran uses terror as an instrument of foreign policy. Less well known is that Iran and Hezbollah forged a relationship with al Qaeda in a meeting in Sudan in 1993, that led to Iran’s quiet but direct support for the Saudi Hezbollah attack on Khobar Towers in 1996 (which al Qaeda had knowledge of prior to); U.S. Embassy attacks in Africa in 1998; and the U.S.S. Cole attack in 2000. What is known about Iran’s involvement in 9/11 was limited to terrorist travel facilitation, as stated in the 9/11 Commission Final Report. However, attorneys representing 9/11 victim families spent eight years following up on the 9/11 Commission request that Iran’s connectivity be looked into further. The federal government did not as far as we know, but the Havlish v. Iran attorneys discovered substantive proof Iran’s prior knowledge, and direct support for, the 9/11 operation. The case originally included Iraq and Afghanistan as defendants, and over the course of time, evidence pointed directly to Iran. Internal Iranian memos; a flight simulator; chief Hezbollah operative Imad Mugniyeh escorting hijackers; terrorist travel facilitation; safe harbor for al Qaeda before and after 9/11; coded messages stating that Iran’s “plane plot” was about to be implemented; Iranian defectors testifying to direct knowledge of 9/11 and support for al Qaeda operations; and more, answer questions about how al Qaeda, who had never conducted a planes operation before, was able to successfully prepare. Also answered is why Iran supported the operation, and Iran’s own concerns about their involvement being found out by the United States after the fact, which never happened.

Guests: Tim Fleming, lead attorney in the case, and Clare Lopez, expert witness and 20 year CIA veteran who vetted the Iranian defectors, were guests tonight. The Iranian affidavits remain under seal, but all the remaining information is publicly available. By way of full disclosure, I was also an expert in the case on the terrorist travel facts, and my affidavit is included in the Havlish v. Iran documentation.
