Amidst the increasing tension in West Asia, Iran has made a big and shocking claim. Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Ali Larijani, has said that some people associated with the network of late American businessman Jeffrey Epstein are allegedly plotting a terrorist attack like September 11, 2001, so that the blame can be blamed on Iran. Larijani said in a post on the social media platform He said that Iran strongly opposes any such terrorist plot and has no enmity towards the American people.
The situation in West Asia is very tense
This statement has come at a time when the situation in West Asia is very tense. In recent times, America and Israel have carried out several attacks on targets linked to Iran. At the same time, Israel has also targeted Hezbollah bases in Lebanon. In response, Iran launched several missile attacks towards Israel and also claimed to have attacked American bases in Iraq and Kuwait.
What is 9/11 terrorist attack?
In fact, the terrorist attack on America on September 11, 2001 is considered one of the most horrific attacks in modern history. That day, 19 terrorists associated with Al-Qaeda had hijacked four passenger planes. Two of these planes crashed into the twin buildings of New York’s World Trade Center, causing both towers to collapse within a few hours. One plane hit the Pentagon in Virginia, while the fourth plane fell in Pennsylvania. About 3,000 people died in these attacks.
Iran’s government and affiliated media have long highlighted Epstein’s ties to influential Western politicians and businessmen. It is in this context that these links are being raised again during the current conflict. US President Donald Trump had also earlier described Epstein as a dangerous and suspicious person, although some pictures of the two had surfaced together in the past.
Iran’s claims await America’s response
At present, there has been no official response from America or other western countries on this claim of Iran. However, experts believe that such allegations may further increase tension amid the ongoing conflict in West Asia.
