Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) President Morton A. Klein released the following statement:
On this twenty-second anniversary of 9-11, while mourning for the terrible murders of 2,977 innocent civilians and brave first responders, we also again remember Iran’s, and its proxy Hezbollah’s, major roles in the 9-11 and other terror attacks on the U.S. and our citizens, including the Khobar Towers bombing, the U.S.S. Cole attack; and the Tanzania and Kenya embassy bombings.
It’s especially important to remember Iran’s role when the Biden administration is lifting sanctions to allow the Islamic Republic of Iran to receive $6 billion; further enriching Iran by failing to enforce other sanctions; and still trying to broker deals with Iran. Iran, its Supreme Leader, and its top agencies (IRGC, MOIS) had a major role in planning the attacks on the U.S.; and in recruiting, training and facilitating the travel of the 9-11 terrorists (including training the 9-11 terrorist on flight simulators in Teheran, Iran); and in providing safe havens for leading al-Qaeda operatives to continue their terror operations after 9-11.
In 2015, before the anniversary of 9-11, while the U.S. Senate was considering the Obama-Biden administration’s Iran deal (the JCPOA), ZOA issued a similar reminder about Iran’s role. We described the extensive findings by the federal district court in the Southern District of New York in the 2011 Havlish v. Bin Laden case, which were based on a multi-year investigation. The Havlish investigation expanded upon initial findings regarding Iran’s role in the 9-11 Commission Report (pp. 108, 127, 169, 240-241). We implored Senators to remember Iran’s involvement in the worst terror attack on U.S. soil, and to vote against the Iran deal.
Likewise, we today implore the Biden administration to remember who they are dealing with, and to stop enriching Iran with sanctions relief; to stop attempting to do what are likely to be disastrous deals with Iran; and to take necessary action to remove the Iranian threat.
We are thus reprinting our 2015 press release below:
