Senior Iranian Commander: US involved in 9/11 attacks

A senior Iranian commander says there is much evidence on hand that implicates the US government and the global capitalist systems in the 9/11 terror attacks in New York and Washington, D.C.

Deputy Head of Iran’s Armed Forces Joint Chiefs of Staff Brigadier General Massoud Jazayeri made the remark on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

He said that the influence of the Zionist-sponsored Western media has, however, impeded the prosecution of US officials, adding that such media outlets do not allow American people to learn the “painful, hidden facts” about the US establishment.

The evidence suggests that the US administration in 2001 needed to generate a “big global shock” in order to set the ground for creating a “unipolar world” and to establish “absolute authority” over the globe.

He added that the US used the 9/11 attacks as a sentimental tool to pursue its hegemonic objectives with the establishment of a new Middle East on top of its goals.

By planning the 9/11 incident, the US and the world Zionism were seeking to create geographical, political and cultural changes to the world in a bid to ensure dominance over the most strategic region of the world, the Middle East, for at least the next 100 years, Jazayeri pointed out.

The top Iranian commander criticized US efforts to conceal the facts pertaining to the incident and said, the question remains as to why the US has failed to shed light on different aspects of the attacks but instead plays a blame game by portraying Muslim countries as terrorists through widespread propaganda.

He said that spreading Islamophobia was the main objective of hegemonic powers, reiterating that the US planned the 9/11 attacks to depict a negative image of Islam and to stop the spread of the religion as liberal democracy was already on the verge of collapse.

Jazayeri pointed out that the 9/11 incident, which was described by the media as the super incident, could provide an excuse for the US to pursue its objectives.

He further noted that shortly after the incident the media pointed the finger of blame at Muslims although no immediate speculation was possible at the time.

Jazayeri said that the US had to accept the fact that the era of its supremacy has come to an end and that the divine school of thought would soon replace materialist schools.
