“The US, looking for a pretext to invade the Middle East, masterminded the 9/11 incident and pointed an accusing finger at Muslim countries,” Commander of the Iranian Army Ground Forces Brigadier General Ahmad-Reza Pourdastan said on Saturday.
Pourdastan added that following the fall of the Soviet Union, the US introduced itself as the world’s sole superpower and moved to instill the new world order to prove its supremacy.
The Iranian commander noted that the US later found its geopolitical policies a failure and decided to follow a geo-economic policy and control the world’s energy resources, 60 percent of which was located in the Middle East.
“To achieve that goal, they launched preemptive attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq, and Iran was their next target, but wise policies adopted by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei along with the unity of the Iranian nation prevented them from achieving their objective,” Pourdastan said.
On September 11, 2001, a series of coordinated attacks were carried out in the United States leaving almost 3,000 people dead.
The US, under the administration of former President George W. Bush, invaded Afghanistan in 2001 after claiming that the 9/11 attacks were carried out by members of al-Qaeda harbored by the then Taliban regime in Afghanistan.
The US also attacked Iraq in 2003 claiming that the Middle Eastern country was in possession of weapons of mass destruction. Washington’s wars on Iraq and Afghanistan have claimed the lives of more than a million people.

While it may or may not be true there were members of the US Govt involved in 9/11 I certainly hope no one takes what a Commander of the Iranian Army Guard says as being fact. Those in power in Iran have had a deep rooted hatred for the United States since the overthrow of the Shah. An Iranian Commander is not the best source to reference.
Ahmad-Reza Pourdastan is much more reliable than Colin Powell, that’s for sure.
To Capt14k,
Just go away. Peddle your mind-fuck-twist-o-round bullshit on your family and friends.
wondering why it took so long for him to come out with this. or has he said it before>
Yes, dennis. In 2010, Brigadier General Yahya Rahim-Safavi of the IRGC said this as well:
“The US and the Zionists developed the strategy of the September 11 attacks in an effort to counter Islamic vigilance and to control energy resources in the Middle East.”
