“On Thursday, families of victims of the September 11th 2001 attacks won a default judgment against Iran, the Taliban, Al-Qaeda and Lebanon-based Hezbollah. According to the lawsuit, people in Iran — including Ayatollah Ali Khamenei- provided support to the terrorists who went on to attack civilians on US soil. But analysts say its nothing but a cover-up, with Iran as a convenient fall guy.
Jamal Abdi from the National Iranian American Council tells RT that there is a campaign going on “to ratchet up pressure for yet another US attack on a Middle Eastern country.””
