FACTS EVERY AMERICAN MUST KNOW ABOUT IRAN AND 9/11
Think the Iranian regime did not play a key role in the 9/11 attack on the American homeland - think again!
The Havlish Verdict: Federal Court Rules Iran Co-Conspired in 9/11
A historic U.S. federal court judgment formally held the Islamic Republic of Iran, its highest individual leadership, and its state apparatus legally liable for the September 11 attacks. In Havlish v. bin Laden, Judge George B. Daniels issued a multi-billion dollar award after a 9-year investigation. The court’s 276 Findings of Fact and 35 Conclusions of Law proved that Tehran didn't just look the other way—it provided the critical material support that made 9/11 possible.
See Havlish v. bin Laden is Havlish v. Bin Laden, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 155899 (S.D.N.Y. Dec. 22, 2011), issued in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York under master docket In re Terrorist Attacks on September 11, 2001, No. 03-md-1570 (Civ. 9848)
The Convicted: Named Iranian Leaders & Government Entities
Unlike a generic ruling, the final judgment specifically indicted and convicted the actual infrastructure and architects of the Iranian state:
The Sovereign Executive: The Islamic Republic of Iran (as a state sponsor of terrorism).
The Dictator: Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei, then Supreme Leader of Iran.
The Political Architecture: Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, former President of Iran.
The Paramilitary Command: The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
The Intelligence Complex: The Ministry of Information and Security (MOIS).
The Logistics Framework: Iran Airlines (the state-owned carrier used for terror transit), alongside a dozen other Iranian government departments and state-controlled corporations.
The Proxy: Hezbollah, Iran's chief terrorist proxy organization.
The Evidentiary Core: Inside the Court Files
The ruling was built on explosive, previously classified intelligence and expert testimonies that established a state-sponsored pipeline:
The Defector Videotapes: The case relied heavily on sworn testimony from three former Iranian intelligence defectors (including Abolghasem Mesbahi). Testifying from hidden locations, they detailed how Iran's government actively facilitated Al-Qaeda's logistics.
9/11 Commission Staff Affidavits: The legal team secured ten expert affidavits, including three from former 9/11 Commission staff members. They testified that unpublicized intelligence strongly substantiated Iran’s tactical involvement.
The Imad Mughniyeh Nexus: The court found that Imad Mughniyeh, Hezbollah’s master operative tied directly to Iran's IRGC, personally traveled on flights with the future 9/11 hijackers to secure their transit.
Tactical Safe-Houses: The Iranian Ministry of Information and Security (MOIS) operated dedicated safe-houses in Tehran, providing Al-Qaeda operatives with funding, documents, and safe passage.
Unstamped Passports: Iranian border control intentionally left hijackers' passports blank to hide their travel through Iran, allowing them entry into the U.S. undetected.
The Confession & The Stash: Beyond the Courtroom
The court's findings have since been backed by public admissions and Al-Qaeda's own internal documents:
The Judiciary Admission: Iranian official Mohammad-Javad Larijani later admitted on state TV that Iranian intelligence knowingly managed and shielded Al-Qaeda transit through their borders.

The Abbottabad Letters: Documents recovered from Osama bin Laden’s compound solidified the alliance. In one letter, bin Laden ordered his network never to strike Iran, calling it Al-Qaeda's "main artery for funds, personnel, and communication."
The Modern Axis: Tehran is Al-Qaeda's New HQ
The historical relationship has evolved into a permanent operational alliance under IRGC protection:
Operational Command: Al-Qaeda’s core leadership has effectively relocated inside Iran.
Harboring Leadership: Top Al-Qaeda veterans, including current de facto leader Sayf al-Adl, live safely in Tehran, utilizing Iranian papers to direct global operations.
