Tehran warns of a 9/11-style false-flag plot


Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said he had heard of an alleged plot to stage an attack similar to September 11 and falsely blame it on Iran.
In a post on X, Larijani said Iran opposed such terrorist acts in principle and was not at war with the American people.
He said Tehran was currently defending itself in response to US and Israeli attacks and would do so “strongly and firmly” to punish the aggressors.
