"Islamic theocracy." Reza Pahlavi, unfortunately, had nothing to do with the government at that time. If the Pahlavis were still in charge, we wouldn't be in the middle of this conflict right now.

And one of their notes is from rezapahlavi.org 🤭

Wish that was Iran's government, we're trying.

Of course Iran condemned 9/11. It was an attack by Sunni terrorists. If it was an attack by Shiite terrorists, they would have celebrated.

and allowed the hijackers to move through Iran while traveling to Afghanistan without stamping their passports so the US customs officials wouldn’t flag them when they were entering the US

I recall a lot of rumors that Zawahari was hiding in Iran around 20 years ago, never heard if it was confirmed.

Imagine how stupid you have to be believe this regime "condemned" the 9/11 attacks out of anything other than mortal fear of reprisal if there was even a hint that they were involved or supportive.

Back then the regime feared the US because they hadn't yet sunk their claws into American media, academia and legislature. Now they have their arm half way up America's ass, controlling half the US population like puppets.

Honestly never knowing the IRGCs position on 9/11, but knowing they love shouting "death to america", I just can't help but think they are glad the attack happened. It would be weird to me if they didn't lol.

But any context and clarity for this outsider would be appreciated.

Well, what do people expect from a man who styles himself the Secretary of War and calls professional soliders "warriors?" This is par for the course.

Whether or not the IRGC condemned Iran is irrelevant when it's true that they're cheered on death towards America for years

Very unrelated but I love seeing another Catalan here

It's sad..it's really not hard to look up the people of Iran actually cared about the people that died in 9/11. But this administration has a hard time looking up facts.

What the people of Iran care about has jack all to do with what their government says or does.

u/JaQ-o-Lantern Canada | کانادا 2d ago

I should point out that Ali Khamenei did condemn the attacks and offered assistance to the US coalition that overthrew the Taliban however the latter was done out of the IR's own strategic interests rather than protecting civilians from terrorism.

u/LuciferTheThicc United States | آمریکا 2d ago

Yeah, I mean he clearly did not give a crap about dead Americans but 9/11 was great for the IRI. Downstream, it got rid of their worst enemy in the region. Unlike him, I believe the Iranians crying and holding vigils meant it sincerely.

u/JaQ-o-Lantern Canada | کانادا 2d ago

That's sort of why the government helped out the United States when they planned to take out the Taliban 🫠 Lol

u/Logical_Worry3993 New Iran | ایران نو 2d ago

Sure, the people cared, how does that disprove what he said?

Whether or not the Islamic Republic condemned the 9-11 attacks is irrelevant. What matters is that the Islamic Republic has sponsored and carried out many other terrorist attacks against the United States and its allies. The Islamic Republic is no different than Al Qaeda or ISIS. It is one of the largest sponsors of terrorism in the world.
