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

Vice President Mike Pence incorrectly linked Iran to the 9/11 terror attacks in a series of tweets on Friday.

The report states there is „no evidence that Iran or Hezbollah was aware of the planning for what later became the 9/11 attack.“ Other reports have reached similar conclusions.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 report does say „there is strong evidence that Iran facilitated the transit of al Qaeda members into and out of Afghanistan before 9/11, and that some of these were future 9/11 hijackers.“ But it does not say Soleimani was involved in that regard. might attempt to invoke the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force to launch a war against Iran.

„The factual question with respect to Iran’s connections to al Qaeda is very real. They have hosted al Qaeda, they have permitted al Qaeda to transit their country,“ Pompeo„There is no doubt there is a connection between the Islamic Republic of Iran and al Qaeda. Period, full stop.“ „The examined documents provide no evidence of cooperation between [al Qaeda] and Iran on planning or carrying out terrorist attacks,“Moreover, Iran is a majority Shia state and al Qaeda is a radical Sunni group, which means they have fundamental ideological differences and interpret Islam differently. This, among other reasons, is why many in Congress are skeptical of any attempts to tie Iran to al Qaeda and the 9/11 attacks.
