Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said Sunday that he had received information about an alleged plot to stage a 9/11-style attack and falsely blame it on Iran, Anadolu reports.
“I’ve heard that the remaining members of Epstein’s network have devised a conspiracy to create an incident similar to 9/11 and blame Iran for it,” he said on US-based social media company X.
“Iran fundamentally opposes such terrorist schemes and has no war with the American people,” Larijani said.
He also said Tehran is acting in self-defense against what he described as attacks by the US and Israel, adding that Iran would respond “strongly and firmly” to punish those responsible.
