Iranian General Insists U.S. Did 9-11

American Free Press

By Ronald L. Ray —

Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan is the commander of ground forces in the Iranian army. In a television interview on Iran’s Arabic-language news network, Al-Alam, on April 19, 2015, the military leader asserted that the United States government was behind the terror attacks against American targets on September 11, 2001. The Persian general’s view is that the U.S. leaders attacked their own people as a means to begin a war of conquest in Western Asia, in order to divide Islam and control the region’s rich natural resources.

As important as this story ought to be—a major military commander stating that the events of 9-11 were a “false-flag” operation—it would appear that not a single mainstream media outlet has covered it. In fact, no one reported it, except the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), which posted video excerpts of the Pourdastan interview with its own English translations. It was then picked up more than a week later by UK’s The Independent, online by Washington news outlet “Politico” and on the website “Islam Times,” along with a handful of blogs.

The Times seems important to the credibility of the story, as MEMRI is a notorious Zionist/neoconservative propaganda outlet. It is staffed by anti-Arab and anti-Iranian former bureaucrats, bankers and intelligence operatives, with a list of advisors reading like a “who’s who” of Jewish “Holocaust” hoaxsters and neocon-men, from the likes of Elie Wiesel and Deborah Lipstadt to John Bolton and General Michael Hayden.
