In a Sunday statement, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi accused the US court of issuing a politically-motivated ruling in absentia without any solid evidence or findings on the Iranian government or nationals’ involvement in the 9/11 attacks back in 2001.

Issuing such verdicts is illegal and condemned; it mocks not only the international laws but also the people of the US, especially the victims of the 9/11 incident,' said Bahram Qasemi.

Although Iran has had no role in the incident and all the organizers and the attackers of the 9/11 incident were from Arab countries, Federal Judge George B. Daniels in New York sentenced Iran to pay six billions of dollars to parents, spouses, siblings and children of more than 1,000 9/11 victims. 

The 9/11 was organized by 15 Saudi, 2 UAE, one Egyptian and one Lebanese nationals. Qasemi added that the designers of this game are trying to distort the facts and divert the paths of the lawsuits and write history as they wish.

The 9/11 incident was organized and implemented by al-Qaeda that was, according to the confessions made by the US authorities, created and supported by the Saudis and the US.

Due to immunity protection, the legal case against Saudi Arabia could not go to the court in the United States.

“They are trying to rewrite history by actions that are even against the process inside the United States and the main culprits of this terrorist attack, but they will definitely fail to achieve their objectives,” he said.

The lawsuit is not linked to a case filed against Saudi Arabia, which families of 9/11 victims say provided direct support for the attackers. Fifteen of the 19 Sept. 11 hijackers were Saudi citizens, two were Emiratis, and the remaining two were Egyptian and Lebanese.
